18 Creative Examples of Typography in Motion

It was boring til I saw the Stephen Siegel one, great compilation nonetheless. Oh, I also think #8 is pretty smart

This was really superb.

Very nice.

very great selection ! thx for sharing

The last is the best

Yup. Some very nice motions up there! I like this post.

Reminds me of a very nice video I saw a few months ago, with kinetic typography, about the creative process. Absolutely worth a click!

Comedy + Typography = AMAZING!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcFQXKMIoxw

it was awesome

this is really about all the things you can do with a mac, but there’s some nice typography.

The best typography in motion ever is the one of Pulp Fiction

El Cuarteto de Nos, is a rock band from Uruguay.

This gave me same great inspiration for my Creative Media diploma course that I’ll be starting soon. Thank you so much.

Easily one of my favorites. Starts out a bit slow, but by the chorus (1:00) the guy puts the pedal down and doesn’t let up.

I loved all the different uses of typography. Very nice post =)

incredible…very time consuming….

Amazing collection! Loved the one from Requiem for a Dream and Graphic Design. Thanks for posting.

wow that was AWESOME!!!!

“Brooklyn Go Hard” – Jay-Z ft. Santogold

This one’s a lot different than the other examples, but I think it’s worth sharing. It’s pretty bare-bones, but imagine if it were polished like the others. The guy who made it even released the .FLA (yes, it’s done in flash) so anyone can make their own version of it. Very cool.

I’ve seen a Typography in Motion video for Citizen Cope’s “Let The Drummer Kick” that’s similar, but better in my opinion, than the one in this blog post.

Take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAuQmJzt_q0

The similarities make me think that they were made by the same person, but that one (this one, I believe) is just a newer version.

Very nice collections !! Very good post !

Some great videos there – it’s amazing how important typography is in any form of design – it’s something I found out soon enough.

I knew I’d find you …. there -:))

Hey there, thanks for including Matt and I in this list. There’s definitely some great pieces on here, so we’re honored. Be sure to check out the work of MK12 where much of this trend started!

Awesome animation. Love them all.

This list needs some shortening. For a list of “Creative” examples, there sure are alot of the same type of animation and style here. Heck, some of these are really unpolished student work. The original pieces that all these films got their inspiration from isn’t even here.

1, 4, 7, 8, 9 and 11. The rest are pretty much the same.

Hmm.. most of them don’t seem to be working for me. I wonder what I am doing wrong!

Refresh the page and try playing only one video at a time.

Awesome…

I really impressed! Love them all.

Nice selection and thanks for sharing the list. It proves that typography, in any form of design, is important and it can actually “make or break” your creativity. But those working with kinetic typography should go easy as too much motion can sometime irritate your vision.

Love the post

I’ve done a similar project in school to a French song

With all do respect… i would very much like to know why this didn’t make the list:
http://vimeo.com/1612411

I think it goes heads and tails over at least 2 of the ones that did.

@Chris: We had to choose just a few, there are too many videos out there and the post couldn’t be too long as it takes time to view each video.

Also, we didn’t necessarily find the examples you found or other readers found.

There are many good videos out there that didn’t make it into the list, so that’s where the links in the comments come really handy.

Thanks for sharing yours!

Devli’s Advocate:
On a couple of these, you could take the soundtrack, look-and-feel, and/or animation style, and replace one with the other, and it’d work equally as well.

In other words, some of these seem really pretty, but they don’t really work perfectly together to tell the story, they just seem like “good fits.”

Then again, ask to see MY work…!
:O

I think the “Typography in Motion” by I Love Typography is the beat of this collection!

Great ! Thanks a lot

Great post! Had fun while having nothing to do.

Some great typography videos here. All of them are good and I really like the last one. Thanks for sharing these.

I love the stop motion piece – I found this music video a little while back that uses stop motion to beautifully recreate typography with paper and other found elements…thought you might enjoy…http://twoifbysee.blogspot.com/2009/05/cookie-machine-by-jeremy-hildebrant.html

Kinetic typography seems to be growing more and more popular, even for use in commercials. This is not very surprising, though, considering the importance of typography in print and web designs. Kinetic typography is just the next step. The problem with many of these examples, though, is that the typography is almost unreadable at times because of the large amount of motion. Straining to read the message is definitely not something you want your viewers to be focusing on. Just as in all design, the rule “less is more” still applies.

great post!

with after effects i got some tutorials on my youtube heres the link http://www.youtube.com/user/EverythingAE

Great post. New one by Eric Hutchinson “OK, It’s Alright With Me” is pretty sweet. Black and white video + kinetic type = simple yet effective.

Here’s a simple one that I did a few weeks back…

Hello Axet, yes, the typography video from this blog post is done by me, and yes, it is similar because I reached for some inspiration from Artur Dimke , the original creator of the first Let the drummer kick that video.

suitably inspired!

wow! great collection!
