Erasmus Guide – Rotating Logo Design
A living symbol of movement, discovery, and student connection
In the Erasmus Guide project((Apparat)), I designed and developed an animated logo that does more than identify the app it tells a story. Inspired by the circular journeys of international students, the logo rotates counterclockwise to represent a return to clarity, the discovery of new paths, and the flow of cultural immersion.Every motion is intentional:
The animation responds to device tilt through CoreMotion, giving users a subtle, tactile sense of orientation.
Built entirely in SwiftUI and CoreAnimation, the logo’s continuous rotation is smooth, organic, and immersive mirroring the dynamic nature of Erasmus life.This isn’t just a logo.It’s a gateway.
A visual compass that welcomes every user to their new city curious, hopeful, and in motion
