Hello dear readers!
Today I will present you my entry for the Utopian.io GIF Contest!
Click on the gif for a redirection to the gif
The original file with all colors and quality had a total size about 90mbs so a lot of details went into this project!
I will give you an brief explanation how I did it as well!
Got Utopian.io Logo from Google
Removed the background using Photoshop
Imported the logo into After Effects and added effects/text/fades/colors
Added the video to render queue and rendered it as .avi video file
Opened the video in Photoshop and started to Export as an GIF
Also reduced resolution and colors to get human-like file size

That's the end of the process
It took me a total of about 1.5 hours to create, but it was a time well spent in my opinion!
Have a nice day and Keep on Steemin!

i like the simplicity, however i can barely see the utopian.io letters. Just an fyi
Thanks for your feedback, the font-face is set to light, but can be easily changed to something bolder and made bigger if liked :)
