This month marks a major milestone for us. In January 2005, we took the first steps towards turning our passion into a career. It all began as an outlet for our creativity, and over time, grown into something we never could have imagined. It\u2019s been an incredible journey, full of ups and downs, but with new lessons learned at every turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beginning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2003, the owner of a limousine service approached us with a request to create promotional images for their company. It was the first time we had the opportunity to offer our services professionally, marking the beginning of our freelance journey. From that moment on, we never looked back, taking on small projects, honing our craft, and learning the ins and outs of running a creative business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By January 2005, we took the plunge, officially registering our business as CJC Entertainment. Our vision was broad, encompassing art, graphic design, logo creation, website design, and animation. We were brimming with ideas and eager to explore every avenue we could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our first official logo for CJC Entertainment, created in February 2005 to brand our animated series 2nd Avenue. It served as our identity for the first two years.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges and Milestones<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, our journey has been anything but smooth, filled with sleepless nights, doubts, frustrations, disappointments, and heartbreak. The emotional toll was often high, and we faced our fair share of challenges. But every experience taught us valuable lessons that helped shape who we are today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our redesigned logo from May 2006. The logo that became synonymous with us during our rise in popularity. This design represented us for the next four years.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

20 Years of Gratitude<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve had the privilege of collaborating with incredible individuals from all walks of life, bringing a wide variety of creative visions to life. From developing brand identities to producing fully animated films, each project has been a stepping stone in our journey. Along the way, we\u2019ve also had the chance to work on our own in-house projects, including an animated series that remains close to our hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our revised logo from July 2010. A fine-tuned, enhanced version of the previous design that gave it a polished, modern look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking Ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of our most significant pivots came in 2017 when we rebranded as CJC Animation, shifting our focus to the work that resonated most with us… visual storytelling. This renewed focus not only reignited our passion but also set the stage for some of our most rewarding projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead, we\u2019re excited about what the future holds and can\u2019t wait to share the projects we\u2019ve been working on behind the scenes. Here\u2019s to continuing to create, inspire, and grow in the years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our rebranded logo for CJC Animation, introduced in July 2017 and proudly representing us to this day.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank You<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we celebrate two decades, we\u2019re filled with gratitude for everyone who\u2019s been part of our journey, our clients, collaborators, and supporters. Your encouragement and trust have been invaluable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To our fellow creatives, clients, and friends: thank you for being part of this journey. Here\u2019s to another 20 years of storytelling, innovation, and pushing the boundaries of imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
