A couple of logo animations

After watching Blenderdiplom’s tutorial ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJKkB-vG4BI ), I came up with my own animated logo. I have not been able to find a good particle to use for this animation. I have tried flares, but there is a problem with using the density vertex group in the particle system. It’s like it completely ignores the dynamic paint’s vertex group. So I had to use hair instead of regular particles.

Any suggestions or critiques would be appreciated.

It says that i must login to see it.

I set these up as private; but I’ll make them public. I am working on a 3rd rendering which will be available on Monday.

I uploaded 2 more test animations. Any comments or critiques would be appreciated.
