Top Smoke and Fire Templates From Envato Elements

If DIY isn't your thing or you're on a deadline try Envato Elements, an all-you-can-download service that has plenty of pre-built projects; instead of designing from scratch, just add your own logo and text to create animations. Here are our top picks:

1. Fire Reveal — Effect Template

Straight from the fiery pits, this project really brings to life an explosive effect in Adobe After Effects. The photorealistic fire effect in this After Effects project can animate any text or logo to life through the fire and flames.

 

2. Spirit of Fire —Logo Animation Template

Spirit of Fire perfectly illustrates how easy it is to use a pre-built project for logo animation. If you want to see your logo forged in a burst of fire and metallic effects, this is the ideal project. You can use this with your own logo to grab an audience's attention right away.

 

3. Fires of Doom Cinematic Trailer  — Trailer Template

4. Fire Logo Cinematic — Logo Animation Template

For a bit of variety, the Fire Logo Cinematic pack is a more minimalist approach to animating your logo. Not only does this have a fiery effect similar to the other selections above, there's also a blue flame approach that you can use with your own logo.

 

5. Burning Cinematic — Logo Intro

Fly over a field of lava with the Burning Cinematic project. It's yet another way to animate a logo in dramatic and blazing fashion.

This pyrotechnic effect for After Effects is one of my favorite selections in this round-up. Watch your own logo painted to life in a burst of flames thanks to the Fire Logo Reveal.
