"Heartbeat" text animation logo

Effect Chart:

Below I give you a way to create a dynamic deformation of the text of the logo method:
Step one: Create a 300*300 canvas, pull a 88*31 rectangle with a rectangular tool on the canvas, and select the rectangle to modify the fillet dimension from the object's menu.

Tip: Of course, you can also use the rounded rectangular tool to pull the circle, but his angle needs to be adjusted ...
In addition, you can press the key on the keyboard while pulling the rectangle--up and down--as well as the function of adjusting the rounded corners ...
Step two, below we want to do that similar to the Sina website eyes.
(1) The Contour of the eye: with the circle tool directly draw 2 ellipses, put together, fill in different colors respectively.

(2) Eyeball: Draw a small positive circle, fill into dark, plus smooth inner bevel effect.

(3) Eye Hair: Draw a long rectangle, rotate his angle with the zoom tool. A total of 5, respectively, according to different angles.

(4) The following section: Draw a rounded rectangle, select the Tilt tool, the point of the rectangle in the bottom corner of the point, inward pull, forming a trapezoid.

Put the things you just did together, it became Sina's eyes:

Step three, decorate the logo canvas, with some graphics full canvas, if there is beyond the range of 88*31 shape, do not worry, as long as the 88*31 rectangle as the base plate to copy, changed to black, put on those graphics, the composition of the mask, the extra corners will be blocked up.

Step four, enter the text part (a word of a word input), with the Zoom tool to adjust the angle of the text, and just made the "eye" also put up.

Step five, create a 88*31 transparent canvas, and copy all the content you just made to the new canvas.
Step six, select the "Ma" word, click the right mouse button, select the "Convert to Path", so that the text is changed into a segment of the shape, rather than the past font.

With the "Ma" in the "Partial selection tool" point in the toolbar, we'll find that all of the dots have become the outer outlines of the word "Ma".

Then select the "Transform Area Tool" in the toolbar, if the figure in its options bar to adjust the size of the pressure point, strength; then use this tool to expand outside the path edge of the "Ma" word, the text will deform (can be modified to various shapes, other text changes in the same reason)

Step seven, blink of the production process is basically made in 3 frames, the three frames, respectively, using "part of the selection tool" to adjust the second contour of the eye and the size of the eyeball.

Step eight, refer to the following figure, control the rhythm of each frame.

Step nine, the production finished, select the File--〉 Export Wizard--〉 Select all the frame export GIF animation.
Well, this dynamic text logo is done.

Tips: This tutorial is mainly about the text of the "Turn to Path" function, this function is important, in some software known as the "transformation curve", such as your design is to use a font, save the source file, but if the other computer does not have this font, it will be replaced by other fonts, and the font into a path, Will retain your original font (because it is not the font, but the path), this function has a lot of effect, I will slowly tell you.
