BLACK IRON SYNDICATE / WEBSITE + CHARACTER ANIMATION
Built in iron.
Made to stand out.
A complete web presence for Black Iron Syndicate in Princeton, West Virginia. We carried the gym’s existing identity into a rugged black-and-gold website, with clear gym information, location and contact details, photos and video, and a guided path to its GymMaster membership signup portal.
Custom muscular panther animations bring the brand to life with dumbbell curls and deadlifts. Seasonal art directions extend the experience through Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year—using glowing pumpkin eyes, drifting haze, falling snow, and cascading gold fireworks.
