Wicked Horizon Designs updated logo:

The composite project for our updated logo was made using frames rendered at 30fps for 30 seconds in 3D Studio Max for the spinning element. The lower part that includes the text font and H.U.D screen was created in After Effects & Premiere Pro. The 3 elements are the lower effect, the text and the spinning logo. Post Production final steps were done in After Effects. Thank you to our teammate Galen C for helping to create our updated sci-fi logo.

Our official website is under construction but you can visit it and checkout the sci-fi style H.U.D theme: https://wickedhorizondesigns.com/
