The animation begins with a white rabbit running and leaping into its place within the logo, symbolizing the café's lively and welcoming atmosphere. As the rabbit lands, a coffee ring gracefully forms around the logo in a smooth, circular motion, perfectly capturing the café’s love for coffee and the whimsical charm of their brand. Crafted in Procreate, this animation adds a dynamic and memorable visual element to their identity.")

About
Hi I’m Monica, a motion designer from Texas. I’ve worked in advertising for the past three years and love to incorporate illustration into design work. In the future I hope to niche in 2.5D animation and social media work. My favorite projects are where kids are the main audience because it’s always a good challenge to make something creative and fun. The only AI in my workflow is Adobe Illustrator ;)
