Summary

We need a freelancer to create a smooth 3D rotation animation for our logo. The project involves animating the logo in a polished, professional style and delivering the final video in a high-quality format. Please share relevant examples of similar work and your approach to creating clean, engaging logo animations. We’re looking for someone who can turn a static logo into a dynamic visual asset for marketing use. Vertical 9:16 cinematic streetwear brand animation. Use the attached 4THSTATE artwork as the exact and only visual reference — do not redesign, redraw, simplify, morph, distort or alter the distressed "4" symbol or the "4THSTATE" wordmark in any way. Preserve their exact shapes, distressed textures, proportions, scale, spacing, alignment and positioning as shown in the reference. Background is pure black (#000000), completely static throughout — no gradients, textures, scenery or ambient movement. The camera is completely locked for the entire duration: no pan, tilt, zoom, push-in, pull-out, rotation, shake or perspective change. The composition stays locked exactly to the reference: the large distressed white "4" centred directly above the distressed white "4THSTATE" wordmark, with no additional text, graphics or objects anywhere in frame. The only movement anywhere in the video is the "4" rotating — the wordmark beneath it stays 100% stationary, sharp, unchanged and unanimated throughout, with no movement, glitch, fade, distortion or typography change. **Part 1 — Opening hold:** The complete logo is already visible, perfectly still, with the "4" facing directly toward the viewer. Hold this still opening briefly before any movement begins. **Part 2 — Rotation:** The "4" performs two complete 360° rotations (720° total) around its exact fixed vertical Y-axis, as a genuine three-dimensional physical object, never a flat 2D spin. Throughout the entire rotation, the "4" must remain exactly the same physical shape and design as the supplied artwork. Treat the supplied "4" as a rigid, solid, pre-existing object simply being rotated in space — do not regenerate, reinterpret, morph, bend, stretch, squash, warp, reconstruct or change any part of its silhouette, geometry, angles, points, cut-outs, proportions or distressed surface pattern at any stage. Its geometry is completely locked; any apparent change in shape must come only from natural 3D perspective as the exact same rigid object turns around its Y-axis. When the front face becomes visible again, it must be visually identical to the supplied reference, not an AI approximation or variation. As it turns, its exact distressed white front face progressively narrows naturally due only to perspective until edge-on, revealing subtle physical thickness and dark charcoal/almost-black side surfaces with realistic shading, then continues until the exact original white front face returns, flowing seamlessly into the second rotation with no pause, jump or stutter — one continuous 720° movement. The "4" must never drift horizontally or vertically, change size, change position, or change distance from the wordmark. Preserve every distinctive point, edge, angle, negative space, overlapping section and distressed marking of the original "4" throughout the movement. It should look as though the exact supplied 2D artwork has been extruded slightly into a rigid 3D object and physically rotated — not as though new versions of the logo are being generated from different angles. Give the sides only enough depth to make the 3D rotation convincing. No chrome, gloss, reflections, plastic look, coloured light or neon. Pace the rotation with natural acceleration into the turn, confident controlled motion through both rotations, and subtle natural deceleration as the second rotation finishes — deliberate, smooth and premium, like a solid emblem physically turning for a high-end fashion campaign, its dimensional depth clearly readable throughout. **Part 3 — Settle and close:** After the second rotation, the "4" settles precisely back into its exact original front-facing orientation and position. The final front-facing "4" must match the opening reference exactly in silhouette, proportions, texture and appearance, with zero deformation or design variation. Hold the complete, perfectly still logo for a beat so the identity registers clearly before the video ends — do not cut away immediately after the rotation. Overall aesthetic: premium underground UK streetwear — dark, minimal, industrial, raw, confident, modern, mysterious and understated. Keep execution extremely clean: no particles, smoke, sparks, lens flares, light streaks, glitches, extra text, extra objects, scenery, floor, wall or background animation. The rotating "4" is the only visual effect in the entire video, and the "4THSTATE" wordmark never moves at any point.
