Facing a tight deadline with no source files? This workflow shows you how to use Cursor to recreate a complex, animated SVG logo from just a static image and simple, descriptive prompts.
with Claire Vo
When faced with recreating an animation without the original files, begin by providing the static vector art of the logo to Cursor.
Use a simple, descriptive prompt to tell the AI what kind of animation you want. Focus on the action rather than the technical details.
Can you make these little bars go up and down? ...dance the little animation up and down.The initial AI output might be technically correct but lack the right feel. Guide the AI by providing specific constraints. For example, use an online tool to find the exact duration of the original animation in milliseconds and feed this detail to Cursor to perfect the timing.
Engage in a back-and-forth conversation with the AI to fine-tune the result. Provide small, corrective feedback until the animation is pixel-perfect.
Once the animation is perfected, you have a scalable, performant SVG asset ready to be dropped into the codebase, allowing you to meet tight deadlines without compromising on quality.
