In 2025, brand identity is bending, and not breaking, the rules of digital design.
Ditch drab blocks of flat logos and rigid, one-dimensional intros. The most adaptable startups and boldest digital-native brands today are turning the page, instead opting for arched text and AI-made videos to communicate bolder, rounder, more fluid brand stories.
Let’s take a stroll through this design evolution, where round logos rotate with panache, AI avatars summarize your task in seconds, and swoopy slogans sweep over images like a finishing move in Mortal Kombat—only much cooler.
From flat to fluid: Why curved is the new straight
For decades, the grid defined design—squares, rectangles, and hard edges. But as screens get smarter and attention spans shorter, those crisp edges give way to movement and feeling. Meet arched text: an understated yet effective means to give branding a life of its own. Consider it. You don’t merely read a curved slogan—you trace it. You sense it curls, flows, and wind around the product. It’s not mere decoration; it’s narrative. And add that to Pippit, a free AI video generator, and your branding isn’t just static, it’s living.
Animated arcs: Where you’ll see curved design in action
Circular motion logos
Bye-bye, static logos. Logos spin, rotate, and bend as if on a dance floor. Curvaceous typography in loops or spirals generates kinetic energy—perfect for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or any environment where movement = attention.
Example: The green-startup VerdeLoop features a circular rotating logo with the brand name wrapped in an arch over a leaf. It quietly loops in the corner of all their videos, engaging, clean, and emotive.
Arched slogans in video intros
Animated video intros usually begin with curved slogans that flow into position. It’s a micro-moment that establishes the tone, elegant, sleek, and memorable.
Example: LunaBakery, a D2C cake company, begins its videos with the slogan “Frosted With Love” curving around the cake in a full-circle animation—pure magic.
AI Avatars with arched captions
Some brands are pushing it one step further further—emploing AI avatars as spokespersons. The avatars describe products or company purposes while curved captions hover nearby like dynamic banners.
Example: Wearable tech startup NeoFit employs a speaking AI avatar in its explainer videos. The avatar is named Zoe, and as she describes, curved captions appear—fun, sci-fi, and completely on-brand.

Curves that connect: The psychology behind circular branding
Curved design is more than just looks, it’s connected to human psychology. Soft shapes feel warmer, more inviting, and more embracing. Consider the fact: circles have no start or finish. They represent unity, community, and continuum, values that speak deeply to today’s audiences. It works particularly strongly for mission-led brands, where the narrative isn’t about selling a thing, but about aligning with values.
When a consumer looks at your logo revolving with arched words or your tagline beautifully bending around a product in a video, it is not merely “cool design”, it unconsciously communicates wholeness, security, and trust. Brands in wellness, green, and technology are therefore adopting such design decisions. The curve is not merely a form, a statement. It informs clients, “We get you. We’re not boxed in. We’re evolving.”

Starting the second phase, curve text visuals themselves shall become an input for some free AI video generator where everything will start to animate.

When your logo turns with intention, your slogans spin with swagger, and your AI avatar speaks to your customers directly, you’re not branding. You’re connecting with Pippit on this onward!
