Animated Logo Mockup

This animated logo mockup is a quick way to show a signage concept without a photo shoot.
It’s a handy file for freelancers on Behance and branding studios. Tip: single-colour versions of a logo usually look better in embossed or foil effects than full-colour ones.
A logo on its own is hard to judge; seeing it pressed, printed or lit on a real surface tells the client far more. If you’re building a full identity, pair it with an envelope or letterhead mockup for a matching set.
Good for
- A signage concept
- A new logo
- A brand mark reveal
A designer on Behance created this one and hosts the download on their own site, so you always get the latest version straight from the source.

How to use the Animated Logo Mockup
- Export your artwork as a high-resolution PNG or JPG, around 300 ppi at print size.

- Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
Worth remembering: use CMYK-friendly colours in the artwork itself, even though the mockup is RGB, so what the client sees is close to print.

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to a designer on Behance. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
How do I put my artwork on the logo?
Find the smart object layer (it has a small icon on its thumbnail), double-click it, place your design, then save and close that tab.
Which Photoshop version do I need?
A recent Photoshop CC version is best. Older versions can open the file but sometimes have trouble with smart objects and effects.
Does the effect work with any logo?
Effects like foil, emboss or 3D are applied through layer styles, so any logo placed in the smart object gets them. Thin lines and tiny text may lose detail, so test a simplified version too.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so a designer on Behance gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
