    This is a pretty simple logo bumper for a church I have done – The only thing I was given was the button graphic and the brushed metal background and told to make something around it – shot the hand on gs and did everything else with after effects – audio post done in vegas . I wanted to keep it rather simple while still following the idea the client wanted – kinda fashioning it after the production logos you often see at the end of broadcast programs –

    anyways – I’m not sure if looking at it I think it is “broadcast worthy” – meaning if I saw it on tv would I think it was a poorly done bumper or just a normal bumper – I dont think anyone will watch it and it blow their socks off – but I want it to be decent – the client LOVES it – but I dont know – maybe I;m being to hard on it – this version is about a 5th revised edition….

    I think it was just okay for me dude. I didn’t see any errors or whatever, pretty short and (very) simple.

    Just a few tips:

    – Add a shadow coming from the hand.
    – More light, more white, etc.
    – Reflective light on the logo when you press on it.

    Didn’t like the metal brush.

    But overall; good job.

    – Add a shadow coming from the hand.
    More than is already there?

    – More light, more white, etc.
    can do that

    – Reflective light on the logo when you press on it.
    whats the best way to achieve that? can you clarify what you mean?

    Yeah – I didnt like the brushed metal either, but

    I found the brush metal kind of distracting. You could keep it, but treat it some how, blur it slightly, maybe color it slightly, use a circular ramp to vignette the edges, etc…
    I also found that the important information you were trying to convey, the name of the program, was the smallest visual element and as such as easily overlooked…in other words, someone seeing it might think of this as a great button press animation and miss the point of the graphic. Making that information pop towards the end of the animation might help…Maybe start with the button only in the frame, the hand comes in presses the button and bam! the name pops up big and bold… experiment with it.
