Celebrating 20 Years of CJC

An artistic collage we created purely for fun in September 2003—long before we realized ‘CJC’ would one day become the name of our company.

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’s been an incredible journey, full of ups and downs, but with new lessons learned at every turn.

The Beginning

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.

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.

Challenges and Milestones

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.

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.

20 Years of Gratitude

We’ve 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’ve also had the chance to work on our own in-house projects, including an animated series that remains close to our hearts.

Our revised logo from July 2010—a fine-tuned, enhanced version of the previous design that gave it a polished, modern look.

Looking Ahead

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.

Looking ahead, we’re excited about what the future holds and can’t wait to share the projects we’ve been working on behind the scenes. Here’s to continuing to create, inspire, and grow in the years to come.

To our fellow creatives, clients, and friends: thank you for being part of this journey. Here’s to another 20 years of storytelling, innovation, and pushing the boundaries of imagination.
