morph_logo

Animate any SVG logo out of dots. A swirling cloud appears, dots fly in and draw every contour, the rest of the cloud pours into each shape in its own colour, and the dots dissolve into the real logo. Made for splash screens.

Logo: Join Tour	Logo: Varordakan Tester

MorphLogo.sequence(
  logo: await SvgLogo.load('assets/logo.svg'),
  size: 180,
  onCompleted: () => router.replace(const HomeRoute()),
)

Pure Canvas circles on the morph_orbs dot engine. No shaders, no flutter_svg, no other dependencies.

Installation

dependencies:
  morph_logo: ^0.1.1

import 'package:morph_logo/morph_logo.dart';

Splash screen

class SplashPage extends StatefulWidget {
  const SplashPage({super.key});

  @override
  State<SplashPage> createState() => _SplashPageState();
}

class _SplashPageState extends State<SplashPage> {
  late final Future<SvgLogo> _logo = SvgLogo.load('assets/logo.svg');

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return ColoredBox(
      color: const Color(0xFFF6F4F0),
      child: Center(
        child: FutureBuilder(
          future: _logo,
          builder: (context, snapshot) => snapshot.hasData
              ? MorphLogo.sequence(
                  logo: snapshot.data!,
                  size: 180,
                  color: const Color(0xFF222223),
                  onCompleted: () => Navigator.of(context).pushReplacement(
                    MaterialPageRoute(builder: (_) => const HomePage()),
                  ),
                )
              : const SizedBox.square(dimension: 180),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

The OS splash runs before Flutter starts and can only show a static image. Give it the same background colour and let MorphLogo.sequence take over on your first Flutter screen.

Stages

Stage	Shows
hidden	Nothing; the next stage bursts out of the centre
dust	A slowly swirling, twinkling cloud of every dot the logo will use
orb	Any morph_orbs MorphOrbVariant
outline	Dots fly out of the cloud and draw each contour like a pen stroke
fill	The rest of the cloud pours into every filled shape, edge to core, each dot in its shape's colour
solid	The dots dissolve into the real logo

The default MorphLogoStep.splash is dust → outline → fill → solid, about 3.5 s. Each step waits for its stage to finish, then for its hold. Write your own:

MorphLogo.sequence(
  logo: logo,
  steps: const [
    MorphLogoStep(MorphLogoStage.orb, hold: Duration(milliseconds: 600)),
    MorphLogoStep(MorphLogoStage.outline, hold: Duration(milliseconds: 300)),
    MorphLogoStep(MorphLogoStage.fill),
    MorphLogoStep(MorphLogoStage.solid),
  ],
  speed: 1.3,
)

Or drive it yourself. MorphLogo(logo: logo, stage: stage) morphs from wherever the dots are whenever stage changes, for example as loading progresses.

Customization

Parameter	Effect
color	Ink for the cloud, the outline and currentColor; defaults to the ambient text colour
useSvgColors	false draws fill dots and the final logo in color
speed	Multiplier on every stage's tempo
intensity	Multiplier on the swirl and the landing pop
style.density	Multiplier on the number of dots
style.dotScale	Multiplier on dot size
style.transitionDuration, style.transitionCurve	The morph between stages
orbVariant	The orb drawn in the orb stage
startDelay	Wait before the first step of a sequence

Under reduced motion (MediaQuery.disableAnimations) a sequence jumps straight to its last step.

SVG support

path (every command, arcs included), rect, circle, ellipse, line, polyline, polygon, nested groups with transform, inherited presentation attributes, style attributes, simple <style> class rules, currentColor and opacity.

Gradients fall back to the average of their stops for the dots and the final logo. Clip paths, masks, filters, text, use and images are ignored: convert text to outlines before exporting. Figma, Illustrator and most icon sets export cleanly.

Performance

One Ticker per logo, no widget rebuilds per frame, reused buffers. A filled logo at 180–240 px is roughly 800–2000 dots while it animates; the ticker stops once the real logo is on screen. Lower style.density for low-end devices.
