Gonzalo Piacentino is a talent graphic designer that has put together a series featuring [corporate logos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golo) that have been redesigned and transformed into [animated GIFs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lidris). The short clips depict the emblems in an array of gradient colors melting away till nothing is left.

Each of the logos begin as they are originally known, in a simple flat shape. From there Piacentino turns the logo into a three dimensional graphic that melts away before the viewers eyes as if it is made from a liquid, dripping substance. The logo drips until it fully disappears -- and then the animation starts all over again.

The [artistic reinterpretation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artist-logo-remix) showcases how logos might look if they were branded in constant motion, rather than two dimensional as many famous ones currently are.
