Cowboy Bebop Logo Animation

Cowboy Bebop follows the misadventures of an easygoing bounty hunter and his crew. When Netflix announced a live-action series, I wanted to imagine what its logo animation could look like. This five-second piece is my answer.

As a fan of glitch aesthetics, I used the project to push the visual language of glitching further, aiming for a nostalgic, modernist design that echoes the anime’s opening sequence with a glitchy edge.

I brought in 3D artist Tanner Riddle to render the logo and musician Zubin Isaac for sound design. The process video below walks through how it came together.
