Party Wheel: On Ice

My client was the main organizer of an online event called 'Party Wheel,' and I was commissioned to design and animate several text logos for them.

This piece was freelance commission work for an event called SeaBattle!
The piece was to announce the venue at the UW Hub, as well as to celebrate the event's first anniversary. As such, the client requested me to illustrate and animate their mascot with a party hat and party popper.
