Font Family: Arial Black Font Size: 48 pixels Fill Color: None Stroke Color: White Stroke Width: 1.5 Tracking: 0

Settings for the company logo 
| 3. | In the Timeline's Modes column, set the text layer's Blending Mode to Classic Color Dodge. This gives the letters a pink color, which you'll change in a few steps.
Setting the text layer's Blending Mode 
| 4. | Apply Effect > Distort > Offset to the text layer.
| 5. | Still at time 0:00, add a keyframe to the effect's Shift Center To property with a value of 160, 120.
| 6. | Press the End key to go to the end of the Timeline at time 4:29, and then change the Shift Center To value to 160, 120.
| 7. | Select the ESTORSYS layer, choose Layer > Pre-Compose, and click OK.
| 8. | Set the pre-composed layer's Blending Mode to Classic Color Burn. Now the layer's pink color changes to blue hues that complement the background.
