Summary

Recommended motion styles: a grid of the "a" icon in different transformation frames, extending horizontally, opening its counter, and morphing, with blue motion annotations showing the recommended directions.

Visual description

White page. The left column restates the two motion families in English over Chinese. The right side, headed "Recommended Motion Styles", is a grid of solid black "a" icons each in a different state of transformation: the icon stretching wider, its inner bar elongating, its counter opening and closing, and a vertical 0-like form. Thin blue arrows, dashed guide boxes and tick marks annotate each frame to show the recommended motion path and extent. Black icons, blue annotations on white.

Key takeaway

Annotating each motion frame with directional arrows and guide boxes turns abstract "the logo can move" into concrete, repeatable transformations. Anchoring all motion to the icon keeps the system tightly branded.

Reuse notes

A clear way to brief animators in a static document: show start/end states with directional annotations. Reuse the annotated-frame grid. Pairs with the misuse and motion-curve pages that follow.
