How we picked them
We make every template in the library ourselves, so we know which ones hold up once a real logo goes in. For this list we looked for four things:
- They work with most logos, square icons and wide wordmarks alike.
- The logo reads clearly at the end, even on a phone screen.
- They're short enough to open a video without dragging.
- The music fits the motion, so the sound hits when the logo lands.
The previews below use sample logos. Yours takes their place when you open a template.
Gaming and esports intros
1. Thunder Strike
A lightning bolt strikes, an electric ring and a shockwave burst out, and your logo slams in before a second bolt closes it with a flash. It's the most dramatic intro on this list, so save it for content that can match it.
Length: 8 seconds. Best for: gaming channels, esports teams and streamers. Put your logo in Thunder Strike
2. Power Core
A core charges up with crackling energy and your logo sparks to life at its centre. It's shorter and tighter than Thunder Strike, which makes it easy to use before every video.
Length: 5 seconds. Best for: gaming, tech and electronics channels. Put your logo in Power Core
3. Claw Slash
Two glowing claw marks, one blue and one gold, rip across the screen and your logo slices in behind them. Recolour the claws and it fits any team's colours.
Length: 4.5 seconds. Best for: esports teams and mascot logos. Put your logo in Claw Slash
4. Arcade Flash
A lightning flash, a burst of neon rays and a logo that lands with an impact shake. It has a retro arcade feel without looking old.
Length: 5 seconds. Best for: retro gaming, arcades and party streams. Put your logo in Arcade Flash
Business and corporate intros
5. Block Grid
A grid of blocks unfolds and your logo unfolds with it. Clean, quick and easy to trust.
Length: 4.6 seconds. Best for: construction, architecture and consulting firms. Put your logo in Block Grid
6. Blue Panels
Blue gradient panels slide across and your logo slides in with them. Change the blue to your brand colour and it looks made for you.
Length: 4.6 seconds. Best for: corporate videos, finance and B2B brands. Put your logo in Blue Panels
7. Clean Circle
A circle draws in and your logo wipes in softly. It's the quietest intro here and one of the most versatile.
Length: 4.5 seconds. Best for: photographers, clinics, agencies and anyone who prefers understated. Put your logo in Clean Circle
Luxury and premium intros
8. Gold Vortex
Gold dust spirals in like a galaxy, collapses and bursts in a flash, and your logo appears inside an expanding ring of gold. It takes its time, and that's what makes it feel expensive.
Length: 7 seconds. Best for: jewellery, fashion, hotels and premium brands. Put your logo in Gold Vortex
9. Silver Wisps
Luminous white wisps curl in and close into a ring, which flares as your logo blooms at its centre. Elegant rather than loud.
Length: 6.5 seconds. Best for: beauty, perfume, weddings and events. Put your logo in Silver Wisps
10. Gold Diamond
Thin gold diamond outlines close in around the centre as your logo opens in a diamond shape. Luxury with a lighter touch.
Length: 5 seconds. Best for: boutiques, real estate and financial advisers. Put your logo in Gold Diamond
Fun, kids and cartoon intros
11. Cartoon Boom
A comic explosion bursts open, your logo slams in on the impact and sparks fly out. Pure cartoon energy.
Length: 4.5 seconds. Best for: kids' channels, comedy, toy shops and sales. Put your logo in Cartoon Boom
12. Balloon Pop
A balloon floats up, pops in a burst of colour and leaves your logo in its place.
Length: 4.5 seconds. Best for: party planners, kids' brands and birthdays. Put your logo in Balloon Pop
13. Magic Poof
A puff of magic smoke goes off with a sprinkle of sparkles, and your logo bursts out of it. A proper little magic trick.
Length: 4.5 seconds. Best for: online shops, games and family channels. Put your logo in Magic Poof
Tech and app intros
14. Glitch Blocks
Digital blocks glitch across the screen and your logo glitches in with them. Fast and unmistakably digital.
Length: 4.8 seconds. Best for: tech reviews, software and gaming. Put your logo in Glitch Blocks
15. Code Brackets
Code brackets open, a wipe passes through, and your logo scans into place with a soft glow. Made for people who write code for a living.
Length: 4.9 seconds. Best for: developers, SaaS products and coding tutorials. Put your logo in Code Brackets
16. Chat Bubble
A speech bubble pops up like a new message and your logo pops in inside it.
Length: 4.5 seconds. Best for: apps, messaging tools, support teams and podcasts. Put your logo in Chat Bubble
Minimal intros
17. Card Swipe
A dark card with a bright edge swipes across, your logo rises in, and the card sweeps it away at the end. That sweep out means it doubles as a transition.
Length: 7.5 seconds. Best for: presentations, product videos and portfolios. Put your logo in Card Swipe
18. Circle Bloom
Two circles bloom open in your brand colours and your logo blooms in at the centre.
Length: 4.6 seconds. Best for: wellness brands, startups and communities. Put your logo in Circle Bloom
