Animated Logos

Visuals: On a black background, a set of white lines draw three letters: an "h" with its bottom left end longer, and upside down version of said letter only with the right end longer, and an "o". The lines redraw and reorganize to form an "I" on the left, an "i" on the right, and a sine wave connecting the two. Some of the strokes draw away while the "o" shrinks and becomes the "i"'s dot. "EGO FILM ARTS" wipes in below the symbol.
Technique: Flash animation.
Audio: None.

Visuals: On a background with a bright light on the top center, the upside down "h" from before draws in while slowly zooming out. The letter is then paired with the "h" and "o" from before drawing in. Then, the paths morph into and form the symbol from before either through shrinking, sliding, drawing away, or in the case of the "o", gaining a fill. As the sine wave draws from left to right, "EGO FILM ARTS" wipes in below. The sequence ends with a light leak.
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Audio: A two-note ascending bamboo flute track, the last note being held.
