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.

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.

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.

Thank You

As we celebrate two decades, we’re filled with gratitude for everyone who’s been part of our journey—our clients, collaborators, and supporters. Your encouragement and trust have been invaluable.

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.


We’re Back!

Hello! Remember us? No? Totally fair—it has been a while.

After a long hiatus, we’re finally finding our footing and getting back into the groove. The last time you saw us was late 2019, and then 2020 arrived… well, you know how that story goes. The pandemic threw us into a whirlwind of challenges, leading to a few tough years. But here we are—stronger, and ready to share everything we’ve been working on behind the scenes.

Big changes are coming! We’ve taken your feedback to heart and are rolling out updates to our website (dark mode, anyone?). Plus, we’ve got some exciting announcements on the horizon, so stay tuned!

We’re thrilled to reconnect and can’t wait to show you what we’ve been up to. Thanks for sticking with us—we’ve missed you!


Delivery Dudes

Over the past few months, we’ve been working with the guys at Delivery Dudes to help create a company mascot and integrate him into their products. We were tasked with finalizing an initial character concept (originally designed by the one and only Bryan Waterman), producing a series of still images of the character, and creating some animations that will be included in a future update to the app.

We can’t say anything else at the moment, but we’re excited about the final results and can’t wait to share more!


“Caveman” Animated Ad (Sneak Peek)

For the past 8 months, we’ve been working on an animated ad for a new mobile app. The app itself is still in development and we still have a tiny bit of work left to do on the ad, so the full animation isn’t ready for public release; however, we’d like to share a sneak peek!

We’re very proud of our work on this project and can’t wait to share the full ad!


Eyebominations Animated Intro

Eyebominations is a new series from EyeofSol that seeks to find the absolute worst animation productions and attempts to dissect them in a hilarious fashion.

We had the opportunity to team up once again with What a Bee! Studios to produce the intro for this new series. This was a deeply collaborative project that you’ll be able to learn more about in our MAKING OF segment.
