Smoke & Cedar branding / unused design

This was one of my favorite unused designs from the branding process for Smoke & Cedar, a luxurious rooftop steakhouse, located inside the recently opened Seattle - adjacent Muckleshoot Casino Resort. I envisioned this in motion, with the glowing edges showing a flickering, glowing look, with the smoke animating too. Although I'm basic in my motion design chops, I generally envision logos in motion while designing, so that if wanted, we can make it move. (Eventually I'll be doing the animations too though :D)
