I recently noticed Google's new logo animation in the video introduction of Google Gemini.

My first thought: You can recreate it in After Effects. Especially this wonderful Spectral Volumetric Light.

With zero plugins of course!

In this After Effects tutorial I'm going to show you the cut down recording of my original creation process.
