Kettle Observatory · motion

The kettle, moving

The soft kettle with a few small animations: an intro beside the name, three loops, and how they'd work on a loading screen and a website header.

Intro · about 2.5 seconds

Kettle, then name

Rises in, telescope slides out and nods at the sky, the name wipes in, the lid hops.

Name proportions · a smaller "Observatory"

Same size

Both words equal, as now.

Observatory at 80%

A gentle step down. Kettle leads.

Observatory at 65%

A clear hierarchy: Kettle is the name, Observatory the descriptor.

At 55%, lighter weight

Smaller and a touch lighter, like a sub-heading.

Small tracked capitals

OBSERVATORY in spaced-out capitals beneath, like a label on an instrument.

Loops

Stargazing

Scans the sky from its pivot, then focuses.

Steaming

Soft wisps drift up from the telescope.

Coming to the boil

The lid rattles, and the telescope puffs steam.

In use

Loading screen

The stargazing loop while a game loads.

Little games, made with the kettle on.

Hover over or tap the logo: the telescope looks up and the lid lifts.

Website header

A tiny hover moment on the logo.
