Motion design studio Sheffield.
We’re a motion design studio based in Sheffield, creating animated videos, motion graphics and brand animation for businesses that want to be seen and remembered. People scroll past still images in a second. Movement makes them stop, watch and take in what you have to say.
Our in-house motion designers work side by side with our brand and graphic designers, so every animation looks and feels like it belongs to your brand. Whether you need a single explainer video or a full set of animated assets for a campaign, you get one team, one point of contact and work built around your goals. It’s a joined-up way of working you won’t always find with a standalone motion design agency.
Motion graphics agency
Not every project needs a full animated story. Sometimes it’s about adding movement to what you already have: your logo, your website, your presentations or your data. As a motion graphics agency, we bring those elements to life in a way that feels natural to your brand.
Clients come to us as a motion graphics company for anything from an animated logo to a full motion system their team can reuse. And unlike a standalone motion graphics firm, we can also help shape the brand itself, so the motion and the design always work together.
Motion branding
Your brand doesn’t have to stand still. As a motion branding agency, we create animated logos, transitions and motion guidelines that set out how your brand moves across video, social and digital. It’s the natural next step after a new brand identity.
Animated graphics and typography
Animated infographics, kinetic typography and moving data make complex numbers and messages easier to understand. They work well in reports, presentations, websites and events, anywhere you need to hold attention and get a point across quickly.
Video animation agency
Video is one of the most effective ways to explain what you do, but only if people watch to the end. As a video animation agency, we focus on the story first: what your audience needs to hear, in what order, and how to keep them watching. Then we design and animate it.
From short social clips to longer explainers, we’re the animated video creation company that takes care of the whole process, from storyboards and design to animation and final versions in every format you need.
2D animation
Our 2D animation studio creates illustrated characters, scenes and animated graphics with plenty of personality. It’s a great fit for explaining products, services and processes, because you can show things that would be difficult or expensive to film.
Corporate animation and explainer videos
For internal comms, onboarding, investor updates or complex services, our corporate animation production turns detailed information into something clear and easy to follow. If you need animation for staff training or e-learning, the team at Olano Learning specialises in exactly that.
Social and campaign videos
Short, punchy animations made for the feed. We create social videos, ads and campaign assets sized for every platform, so your message lands whether it’s seen on LinkedIn, Instagram or TikTok.

Motion design FAQs
What’s the difference between motion design and animation?
Animation is the broad term for making anything move, from characters to objects. Motion design, sometimes called motion graphics, focuses on bringing graphic elements to life, such as logos, text, icons, shapes and data. Most of our projects use a mix of both, depending on what the message needs.
What types of animated videos do you create?
Explainer videos, social content, animated ads, corporate and internal videos, animated logos, and motion graphics for presentations, websites and events. If you have something else in mind, we’d love to hear about it.
How long does an animated video take to make?
It depends on the length and complexity. A short animated logo can be turned around much faster than a two-minute explainer. As a guide, 1 day for a short logo reveal, up to a couple of weeks for a well crafted motion piece. We’ll agree a timeline with you during planning.
How much does video animation cost?
Cost depends on the length, the style and how much needs to be designed from scratch. After our discovery stage, we’ll send you a Statement of Works, so you know exactly what’s included before anything starts.
What formats do you deliver in?
We deliver in the formats and sizes your channels need, from widescreen video for your website and presentations to square and vertical versions for social media. Just let us know where the animation will be used.
