Animated Logos for Cheshire Brands
Your logo.
Just better.
Action is a motion graphics studio based in Manchester, a short drive from the Cheshire border. We animate logos for brands right across the county.
A good static logo makes your brand stand out. A good animated logo puts it centre stage. And you can use it everywhere a video plays: your website, your socials, your ads, the top and tail of every film you make.
Why animate your logo?
The whole job of a brand is to be remembered. Animation gets you there faster, because it lets you add character, timing and story to a mark that would otherwise just sit still.
A well-made logo animation does three things a static logo can’t:
- Earns a second look. Movement catches the eye in a feed built to be scrolled past.
- Carries your brand story. How your logo moves says as much as how it looks: playful, precise, bold, calm.
- Works everywhere. One animation covers your site, your socials, your ads, and the top and tail of every video you make.
How we work
You don’t need to arrive with an idea for how your logo should move. That’s the part we’re best at: taking your brand and distilling it into a few seconds of motion that feels like you.
We’ll look at your logo, your brand guidelines and what you’re trying to say, then come back with a direction before any animation starts. You’ll know what you’re getting well before we build it.
Manchester studio, Cheshire clients
We’ll be straight with you. We’re a Manchester studio, not a Cheshire one. In practice that means we’re close enough to work with you properly, and experienced enough that it wouldn’t matter if we weren’t. Our client list runs from the NHS and the Financial Times to studios overseas.
If you’re a Cheshire business that wants an animated logo made by people who’ll actually think about your brand, that’s the work we do.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work with businesses in Cheshire?
Yes. Our studio is in Manchester, which puts us on Cheshire's doorstep. We work with brands in Chester, Macclesfield, Wilmslow, Knutsford, Crewe and across the wider county.
Most logo animation projects run comfortably over email and video calls, so you don't need to be local. If you'd rather meet in person, that's easy enough to arrange too.
How much does an animated logo cost?
It depends on the complexity of the logo and the style of animation. A clean mark with a simple reveal is a very different job to a detailed illustrated logo with character animation.
Tell us what your logo looks like and where you plan to use it, and we'll give you an honest price and timeline. No obligation.
What do I need to give you to get started?
Ideally your logo as a vector file (.ai, .eps or .svg) and any brand guidelines you have: fonts, colours, and the rules you want us to stick to.
If all you have is a flat image file, don't worry. We can work from that, or rebuild the logo as vector artwork first.
Where can I use an animated logo?
Anywhere a video can play. Website headers, social posts, paid ads, presentations, trade show screens, and as a start or end sting on any video you produce.
We deliver in the formats you need, including versions with transparent backgrounds so your logo can sit over other footage.
