Typography & logo

For the type i began by looking at different fonts, i decide on a font called Alien Encounter which is very x-files like. I then did some tutorials into text scrolling and lighting and more advanced effects. I decided that using a glow and blur effect combined with a layer mask creates the best effect.


I also used the sci fi logo took it into illustrator created an outline with the pen tool so it's vector then brought it back into after effects where i added a light beam to it to make it look more like the scifi channel's own logo.
