I've just made this intro and need some criticism. If you find something is a bit off, even if you don't know what exactly, just post it here. Please refrain from posting unhelpful posts like "it suck" or "don't like it" without stating the reason.

Also, since I suck at designing, the logo itself (the "v") doesn't look all that impressive. If you have any suggestion regarding its design or would like to contribute a new design for it, feel free to leave a comment.

EDIT: sfx will be added latter. Still looking for appropriate ones.

Fade in from black to the background is too short (there's enough time there, the fade should be longer and slower, it's just a black background for too long), fade out from the V to the black background and the word under neath of it is too long. IMO the word should fade in as the background fades out.

I agree with you - the “V” doesn’t look all that impressive. You
asked US not to say “It sucks” without stating the reason, why
do YOU think you suck (your word) at designing?

It takes to long to get going. You have nine seconds - 37% - before
we see the “V”. How about no fade in? Start the image with the
lightning, make the second one sooner and then into you logo. How
about having the background cross fade with the text rather than
a fade out/in.

Maybe that will all change when you add the appropriate sfx.

It looks pretty good. It's definitely too long. Even on a feature film the professional logos are under 10 seconds. If you're planning on using this on short films it should even be half that.

Also, I hope your target audience is not Americans, because I have no idea how to pronounce the name :)

Good work overall, though.

I like the V a lot, but it's entirely too long. Try to trim it down to two seconds. Not joking either, unless it's going on front of a feature that someone either paid for a ticket or bought a DVD of, every other media outlet, namely TV and internet, needs a shorter logo. TV is almost always under a second, Internet should be similarly short because you're competing with ads, other videos and lots of other stuff for every second of your viewers' time.

I fixed it to the best of my ability. Shorten it down to just under 5 seconds is a bit too much imo. That mean I would have nothing but a black background and the "v" intro sequence.


And there is also something else I need to ask. This is the ram preview of my logo:

And this is how it looks rendered out:

I don't understand how come the colors and details got all messed up in the rendered vid. Any help please?
