digital signage animations
A screen is just a medium. Content is what creates the advantage.
You invest in screens, management systems, and efficient content distribution. Technically, everything works. The problem arises when the content being displayed fails to leverage the medium's full potential.
Materials are often adapted from TV spots, cropped from social media, or created using random templates. They don't account for the location, the viewer's distance, the duration of contact with the screen, or the brand's character. As a result, the screen displays a message, but it doesn't always effectively capture attention, guide the eye, or support the viewer's decision.
At elomate, we design digital signage animations from the ground up with specific applications in mind. We combine motion design, branding, and technology to ensure every piece of content is legible, recognizable, and ready to perform across your entire network. You don't need to change your current system or screen provider. We adapt our solutions to your organization's infrastructure, processes, and workflow.
Experience gained at scale
For Żabka Polska, we create animations integrated with digital menu boards in stores. We design motion that aligns with the brand identity, products, layouts, and the specifics of point-of-sale communication. This experience has shown us that in Digital Signage, an efficient process, the ability to make quick changes, and consistent system-wide coherence are just as important as the quality of an individual animation.
Why design animations specifically for Digital Signage?
A consistent brand on every screen
We create animations that align with your visual identity and brand character. Regardless of the number of locations, formats, or campaigns, your communication maintains a common visual language. Screens don't look like a separate channel; they become a natural part of the entire brand experience.
Clear messaging, even without sound
Digital signage viewers are often on the move, viewing from a distance, or distracted by their surroundings. That’s why we design the right information hierarchy, animation pacing, and delivery style. We use an approach that ensures the most important content remains complete and understandable without music or voiceovers.
One system, many formats
Horizontal screens, vertical monitors, menu boards, video walls, and custom surfaces all require different compositional solutions. We don't just crop a single file. We design materials to ensure they maintain legibility, rhythm, and the correct hierarchy on every screen.
Faster updates, smoother processes
We analyze how you commission, approve, update, and publish your materials. Then, we create modular animations, templates, and workflows tailored to your organization's way of working. This makes it easier to swap out products, prices, photos, and messaging, allowing you to launch new campaigns faster without building every creative from scratch.

How do we create Digital Signage animations?
We guide you through the entire process—from auditing your screen network to delivering finished materials, templates, and tools for your daily operations.
We begin by getting to know your entire Digital Signage ecosystem. We analyze the types and placement of screens, their aspect ratios, resolutions, technical specifications, and display conditions. We review existing materials, the content management system in use, update frequency, and the approval process for changes. We identify issues affecting readability, brand consistency, and production efficiency, and determine which elements of the process should be standardized or automated.
We determine the role of the screens and identify which information is most important for the audience in a given location. We design the hierarchy of messages, the pace, the rhythm, and the way products, prices, promotions, and branding elements are presented. We also define the rules for adapting materials to different screen aspect ratios and layouts. Based on this, we create a visual direction and key examples showing how the brand should function in motion.
We create 2D, 3D, and motion design animations tailored to your brand, placement, and specific media requirements. Our services include product animations, promotional campaigns, digital menu boards, pricing displays, brand identity materials, character and illustration animation, and content for video walls. We can also synchronize content across multiple screens and adapt existing campaigns. Every piece of content is designed for readability without sound, optimized message duration, and effective use of the available display area.
We check materials for technical and visual accuracy. We verify export quality, playback smoothness, text legibility, and composition across target screens. We collaborate with the client's team or the Digital Signage system provider to ensure files function correctly within the existing infrastructure. We also organize file naming, versioning, and update procedures, allowing future campaigns to be deployed faster and with a lower risk of errors.
Scale your production with templates, automation, and a brand motion system
For brands that regularly publish new content, we can create solutions that speed up daily work, allow for content scaling without sacrificing quality, and maintain a consistent motion style across all channels.
Digital Signage template system
We design flexible, brand-compliant templates. They allow you to change text, prices, products, photos, and specific layout elements without compromising core design principles. The system can include templates for various types of messages, screen formats, locations, or times of day. Your team gets ready-to-use tools for creating new materials, while the brand retains control over aesthetics and information hierarchy.
Production and content update automation
If you regularly prepare many similar variants, we can automate part of the process. We create dedicated tools, presets, and mechanisms that allow you to generate new versions of materials, swap products, prices, and text, and prepare formats tailored to different screens. Automation reduces repetitive work, shortens the time between offer changes and publication, and can enable selected updates to be made directly by your team. We tailor the scope of the solution to your current workflow, Digital Signage system, and the level of control your organization requires.
Motion Design System for your entire brand
Motion principles created for Digital Signage can serve as a starting point for organizing animation across your entire brand communication. If you also publish content on social media, your website, in-app, or in video campaigns, we can expand this direction into a complete Motion Design System. We define the character of motion, pacing, transitions, typography, and logo animation, and then turn these principles into guidelines, templates, and presets.
This ensures your brand moves consistently not just on your own screen network, but at every digital touchpoint with your audience.
