Brand Reveal Video Examples: 15 Tech and B2B Reveals

Introduction

A brand reveal answers one question: what changed?

Most rebrands ship as a press release and a new logo file. Then a sales rep spends the next quarter explaining the change on calls.

Your buyer doesn't ask whether the new mark looks good. They ask what changed. Is it the same product? Is there something new behind the name? Where does this company fit now?

A brand reveal video answers that before the rep has to. But only if it picks one answer.

The short answer: the brand reveal videos that work show one thing. Logo Film lets the new mark move before anyone explains it. Clutter Scene shows the mess the brand was built to end. Close Look opens up the product, so the name has something real behind it. Map View shows the whole market, then the brand's place in it. The 15 reveals below, from an AI startup to a chipmaker and a shipping line, are sorted by what they show.

Brand Reveal Video examples

Sarvam rebrand video

Sarvam's rebrand film runs 45 seconds. It's built from 3D abstract fluid shapes, cultural motifs and clean UI elements, with music instead of a voiceover.

What works here:

  • Shape comes before words. Fluid 3D forms set the new look before the text cards arrive.
  • Cultural motifs share the frame with clean UI elements. The identity and the product show up together.
  • The montage speeds up near the end, so the last text cards pass quickly. Give each card enough time to be read.

The move: Put your new look and your product in the same frame. If a viewer can't tell what you sell by the last second, add one interface shot.

Windsurf brand reveal video

Windsurf's “A New Wave.” is a 47-second motion design piece. Abstract waves and clean logo transitions carry it, with music and no voiceover.

What works here:

  • The name is the picture. A brand called Windsurf, a film called “A New Wave.” and waves on screen.
  • Logo transitions do the explaining. The mark changes on screen instead of in a press release.
  • It ends on the brand logo card and holds there. The last thing in memory is the mark.

The move: Find the one image your name already suggests, and animate it. If your title, your visual and your mark point at different pictures, cut until they match.

dbt Labs brand film

dbt Labs' film is titled “dbt: The world runs on data.” It's a kinetic typography and motion branding piece, set to music.

What works here:

  • Type does the talking. Words move on screen instead of a narrator reading them.
  • The claim is about the buyer's world, not the logo. “The world runs on data” puts data work at the center.
  • Transitions split the film into product chapters. The brand and the product arrive together.

The move: Write your reveal as one sentence about your buyer's world, then let the type move. If the line needs a narrator to land, rewrite the line.

Reveal 2 · Clutter Scene

If buyers don't know why you exist, show the mess you were built to end.

A new mark tells buyers you changed. It doesn't tell them why they should care.

Nobody values a filing cabinet until they lose a contract. Your buyer's scattered tools and data are that lost contract. I call it the Clutter Scene: the mess first, then the brand that tidies it. Four examples.

Papertrail brand identity video

Papertrail sells digital safety inspection software. Its video starts in a paperwork nightmare and ends on a platform built for compliance.

What works here:

  • The risk lands first: shredded documents and a looming court order. Only then does Papertrail appear.
  • UI animation runs across mobile, tablet and laptop: inspection schedules, history at a glance and quick reports.
  • A world map, barcode and RFID tagging, and reminders close the case for staff accountability.

The move: Pick the one record your buyer dreads losing. Show it lost, then show your brand keeping it.

Braze and mParticle brand reveal video

Braze published this video to show how it works with mParticle. Clean 2D animation turns scattered customer data into one profile.

What works here:

  • Scattered data points across devices open the video. The silo problem is clear before either product appears.
  • mParticle becomes the hub: iOS, Android and Unity apps, devices like Roku, Xbox and Apple TV, and the web through one JavaScript SDK.
  • It ends on a tailored message, the unified data turned into one personal send.

The move: If your reveal is a partnership, show the data moving from one product to the other. If viewers can't point at the handoff, it's still just two logos.

ArganoInterRel brand identity reveal video

ArganoInterRel presents a strategic assessment for finance and EPM teams. Isometric 3D animation and narration turn messy finance processes into a roadmap.

What works here:

  • Fragmented financial data and manual processes come first. Then the diagnostic phase starts.
  • The answer is a plan, not a product: a multi-year roadmap with short, medium and long-term recommendations.
  • Two plain questions frame the work. What's working today, and what should the future state look like?

The move: If you sell a service, reveal the deliverable. Show the roadmap your client walks away with.

Softr relaunch video

“Meet the new Softr” reintroduces the brand in 76 seconds. UI interactions, chat bubbles and moving type show messy data turning into working tools.

What works here:

  • The title does the reveal. “Meet the new Softr” tells existing users the product changed before a single screen.
  • Messy data comes first. Then it becomes tools on screen.
  • Chat bubbles and kinetic type replace a voiceover. The film runs on music alone.

The move: If your product changed under the same name, put “new” in the title and show the before state first. Existing users need to see what moved.

Reveal 3 · Close Look

If they doubt there's anything new behind the name, open up the product on screen.

A mess and a new name still leave one question. Is there a real product behind them?

A watchmaker sells the movement by opening the case back. Your buyer wants the same view of your hardware or your interface. I call it the Close Look: the product opened part by part, until the claim has something to stand on. Four examples.

Graphcore Bow IPU reveal video

Graphcore's video reveals the Bow IPU, which it calls the world's first 3D wafer-on-wafer processor. CGI moves from the chip's layers out to the data center.

What works here:

  • A disassembly animation opens the chip. You see wafer-on-wafer layers that no camera could film.
  • Then scale. Particle effects and data center shots carry the claims of a “giant leap in performance” and “improved power efficiency.”
  • An electronic soundtrack, color shifts and short on-screen text set the tone for an AI hardware brand.

The move: Show the part of your product no photo can show. If a competitor's product could stand in your shot, move the camera closer.

Seagate FireCuda 520 reveal video

Seagate's 34-second reveal of the FireCuda 520 PCIe Gen4 SSD fits speed, endurance and a brand mascot into one short film.

What works here:

  • A ghosting effect strips the drive down, and data flows through it like liquid fire.
  • Endurance gets numbers on screen: 1.8 million hours MTBF and 3600 terabytes written.
  • The FireCuda dragon closes it, with the tagline “Accelerate. Dominate. Endure.”

The move: Put your two key spec numbers on screen as text. Then end on one mark buyers will remember.

Dover Fueling Solutions Anthem UX video

Dover Fueling Solutions reveals the DFS Anthem UX platform as a new way to fuel. CGI and interface shots lead with a 27-inch touchscreen.

What works here:

  • CGI takes the dispenser apart around the 27-inch touchscreen, the one part every driver touches.
  • DX Promote adds weather, traffic and multimedia, with stereo speakers built in.
  • Small details carry the design: a multi-language selector and a dark mode for night.

The move: Open up your hardware around the one part the end user touches. That's the part your buyer has to sell to them.

Qashier XS product reveal video

Qashier reveals the QashierXS, a portable point-of-sale device, in a 48-second Thai-language video. POS, payment, inventory and cash management fit in one small unit.

What works here:

  • Live-action close-ups show the light build and the built-in thermal printer.
  • The “Treats” loyalty program gets its own scene: points, repeat visits and new customers.
  • Quick cuts show QR code payments, with on-screen type naming each task.

The move: If your product got smaller, film it in a hand. Size is a claim viewers should check with their own eyes.

Reveal 4 · Map View

If the reveal is a new role in the market, show the whole map before your place on it.

The last doubt is about position. Where does this brand fit in my world?

A mall map works because of the dot that says “you are here.” Your buyer needs the same dot. I call it the Map View: the whole market or process first, then where your brand sits in it. Four examples.

AVEVA Engineering Simulation video

AVEVA traces the history of industrial engineering, then places AVEVA Process Simulation at the end of it. Isometric 3D animation carries the whole film.

What works here:

  • A chronological story moves from older engineering methods to today's cloud-enabled tools.
  • Steady-state, fluid flow and dynamic modeling come together in one simulation environment, framed as a digital twin of the plant.
  • Owner-operators and EPC firms are named as the teams who work from it, from design to operation.

The move: Draw the timeline of how your buyer's job got done before you. Put your brand at the last point on it.

Maersk Flex Hub launch video

Maersk's Flex Hub video reveals a service, not a logo. Minimal line art on a white canvas draws a supply chain that can change course.

What works here:

  • Trans-shipment hubs become decoupling points on the map. Delivery dates and final destinations can change while cargo waits.
  • Shorter lead times from hub to market, plus online visibility through dashboards, put the buyer in control.
  • On-screen text repeats the narration. Nothing else competes for attention.

The move: If your reveal is a service, draw the network. Put your brand at the point where plans can change.

Rx EDGE Solutions at the Shelf video

Rx EDGE reveals its “Solutions at the Shelf” channel to pharma brands. 2D animation follows a patient into the pharmacy, where health choices get made.

What works here:

  • Rx EDGE says its dispensers sit in 30,000 pharmacies nationwide. The map comes before the pitch.
  • One patient picks up a booklet, learns about their condition and talks to their doctor. That's the path a pharma brand buys into.
  • It closes on its own numbers: an average script lift of 12.5% and an $8.12 ROI, for over 150 pharmaceutical brands.

The move: Show your buyer's customer walking the path, then mark the spot where your brand meets them. Close on your own result, labeled as yours.

SIMA brand identity video

SIMA, an agricultural trade show running since 1922, uses this video to restate its ambition. 2D animation maps where farming is going and where SIMA fits.

What works here:

  • “Since 1922” sets the history. Then 5 key markers and 5 pressing challenges map the farming world.
  • Line-art icons and synced text keep each marker readable.
  • A rocket launch and a maze stand for progress and obstacles. SIMA places itself as the hub for AgTech, education and new talent.

The move: Count the shifts in your market on screen, then show the one role your brand plays in them. It's close to a company history video, but the timeline belongs to the market.

Pick your reveal

Which reveal does your brand need?

The short answer: ask one question. What does your buyer need to see first: the new mark, the reason, the product or the place? The answer picks the reveal. One reveal per film. If two answers are loud, make two short films instead of one long one.

If your buyer needs to seeUseDo thisExample to copy
The new name or markLogo FilmThe mark in motion, music, few wordsWindsurf
Why you existClutter SceneThe mess first, then the brand that tidies itBraze and mParticle
That the product is realClose LookOpen the product up, part by partGraphcore
Where you fitMap ViewThe whole market, then your dot on itSIMA

Now go back to the sales rep explaining the new logo on every call. Each of those calls is a reveal video nobody made.

The move: list the 3 questions buyers asked most in the month after your last rename or launch. Pick the reveal that answers the top one. Keep the film under 2 minutes, like all 15 above.

A new logo tells buyers you changed. A reveal shows them what changed.

FAQ

Brand Reveal Video Examples FAQ

What is a brand reveal video?
A brand reveal video is a short film that shows buyers a new name, a new mark, or a new product or direction behind the brand. The best ones show one change clearly. Sarvam's rebrand film does it in 45 seconds, with fluid 3D shapes, cultural motifs and interface elements.
How long should a brand reveal video be?
Under 2 minutes. All 15 reveals on this page are, from Seagate's 34-second FireCuda 520 film to Dover Fueling Solutions at 1:51. The two pure logo films sit near the short end: Sarvam at 0:45, Windsurf at 0:47. Reveals that explain a product or a market need more time.
What's the difference between a brand reveal and a brand teaser?
A brand teaser video runs before the change and holds something back. A brand reveal runs on the day and shows it all: the new mark, the product or the new direction. Many brands use both, the teaser first.
What's the difference between a brand reveal and a logo animation?
A logo animation is a few seconds of the mark moving, used to open or close other videos. Animated logos work as signatures. A reveal is a full film that says what changed. Windsurf's “A New Wave.” sits close to the line, at 47 seconds. For short openers, see these animated brand intros.
Should a brand reveal video use a voiceover?
It depends on the reveal. Sarvam, Windsurf, dbt Labs and Softr run on music alone, and their identity work speaks without narration. Reveals that explain a service or a market, like ArganoInterRel's assessment, use narration. Add captions whenever there is speech.
Should a rebrand video show the product?
Yes, at least once. A new look with no product leaves buyers guessing what the company sells. Sarvam puts clean UI elements next to its new shapes and motifs. dbt Labs splits its brand film into product chapters.
How do you reveal a rebrand without confusing existing customers?
Say “new” and show what moved. Softr titles its film “Meet the new Softr,” then shows messy data becoming tools. Existing users see the change in the product they already know, not just a new logo.
How do you reveal a partnership or an acquisition?
Show the data or the work moving from one product to the other. Braze's video with mParticle shows scattered customer data flowing into one hub, then out as one tailored message. Two logos side by side don't explain a partnership.
How do you reveal new hardware?
Open it up on screen. Graphcore takes the Bow IPU apart layer by layer. Seagate uses a ghosting effect on the FireCuda 520. Dover Fueling Solutions builds its dispenser around the 27-inch touchscreen. CGI shows what a camera can't.
Should a brand reveal video include numbers?
Yes, if the buyer can check them. Seagate puts 1.8 million hours MTBF and 3600 terabytes written on screen. Rx EDGE closes on its own script lift and ROI figures. Label every number as the brand's own claim.
What should a brand reveal video end on?
The one thing you want remembered. Windsurf holds on its logo card. Seagate ends on the FireCuda dragon and “Accelerate. Dominate. Endure.” If the ending is a list of features, the mark gets lost.
Can a service company make a brand reveal video?
Yes. Reveal the deliverable instead of a device. ArganoInterRel shows its assessment ending in a multi-year roadmap. Maersk draws its Flex Hub service as a network of hubs on a map.
How do you keep a brand reveal consistent with the rest of the brand?
Use the same colors, type and tone in the film that buyers will meet everywhere else. Brand consistency matters most in the weeks after a reveal, when the old and new marks are both still around. Update your demo, deck and product screens on the same day.

Patterns from the analysis

Brand Reveal Video Best Practices

These counts come from the breakdowns of the 15 reveals above, built from each video's description and on-screen content, not from full transcripts. Read each count as what these 15 did, not as market data.

Music Only

Does a brand reveal video need a voiceover?

Observation
Sarvam, Windsurf, dbt Labs and Softr all reveal with music and on-screen type or shapes, and no narrator. Each is an identity or relaunch film. The reveals that explain a service or a market, like ArganoInterRel and Maersk, use narration.
Data
4 of 4 identity and relaunch films (the 3 Logo Films plus Softr) ran on music alone.
The move
If the change is the look, cut the voiceover. If the change is what you do, keep it.
Mess First

Should a brand reveal open on the problem?

Observation
Braze's mParticle video opens on scattered data across devices. ArganoInterRel opens on fragmented financial data and manual work. Papertrail shows shredded documents and a court order before its platform. The identity films open on shapes and type instead.
Data
3 of 15 opened on the buyer's problem.
The move
If buyers don't know why you exist yet, open on the mess. If they already know you, open on the new mark.
Spec on Screen

Which numbers belong in a brand reveal?

Observation
Seagate shows 1.8 million hours MTBF and 3600 terabytes written. Rx EDGE gives 30,000 pharmacies, a 12.5% average script lift and an $8.12 ROI. Dover Fueling Solutions names its 27-inch screen. SIMA counts 5 markers and 5 challenges.
Data
4 of 15 put specific numbers on screen.
The move
Show one number a buyer can check, as text on screen. Label it as your own figure.
Take-Apart

How do brand reveals make hardware feel new?

Observation
Graphcore uses a disassembly animation on the Bow IPU. Seagate ghosts the FireCuda 520 to show its insides. Dover Fueling Solutions deconstructs its dispenser around the touchscreen. Each one is a version of the 3D exploded view.
Data
3 of the 4 hardware reveals took the product apart in CGI.
The move
If your product is a box, open the box. Buyers trust the inside more than the outside.

How to plan

Where to use your brand reveal video

Put the reveal where buyers meet the change first. That one rule decides most placements.

  • Your home page and product pages. The film replaces the old hero on reveal day.
  • Sales emails and calls. The rep sends the film instead of explaining the rename again.
  • Social channels. A 15 to 30-second cut of the mark in motion, linking to the full film.
  • Events and booths. A loop of the Logo Film or the Close Look, with no sound needed.
  • Onboarding. Existing customers see what changed the first time they log in.

How do you plan a brand reveal video?

Eight decisions, in order. Each one narrows the next.

  • Change. Write down what actually changed: the name, the mark, the product or the direction.
  • Buyer. Decide who must understand it first: new prospects, existing customers or partners.
  • Reveal. Pick one: Logo Film, Clutter Scene, Close Look or Map View.
  • Last line. Write the closing line first, then the opening, then the middle.
  • Image. Find the one picture your name or product already suggests, like Windsurf's waves.
  • Proof. Add one product shot or one number a buyer can check.
  • Sound. Music only for identity films. Narration when you explain a service or a market.
  • End. Hold on the mark, or on one line, long enough to be remembered.

Need a wider view of identity films? These tech branding videos show how the same marks work beyond the reveal.

Brand reveal video production process

Every reveal runs through the same three stages. A reveal also has a fixed date, so plan backward from it.

  • Pre-production. Lock the new identity files first: logo, colors and type. Then the script, the storyboard, the budget and the timeline.
  • Production. Design and animate the mark, build any CGI of the product, and record music or narration.
  • Post-production. Edit, mix the sound and cut versions for each channel. Review once with the brand team before the reveal date.

A reveal is one moment in a wider rollout. If the film also has to introduce the company to new markets, plan it alongside your brand launch video.
