ParticipantMy suggestion would be to NOT spruce it up – nice and plain, easy to read and remember. Unless you are advertising something like Elephant Antiques, then have a graphic of an elephant to get people to remember. Use the company logo if it is more memorable than text. Break the phone number up into area code, 3 digit, lots of space, 4 digits. That way local viewers really have to recall only 4 digits if they really want to remember anything at all. And that’s what you have to ask yourself, do you really expect people to remember the business name and phone number? It really does make a difference what kind of video you are talking about and what you are offering your advertiser.

Participantits a video to show off features of our club with photos and videos, but every so often there will be a advert as they helped sponsor the club. I want to have some sort of effect with the text gettin displayed on the screen and then being nice and clear and still on the screen for x seconds before some effect happens and it goes away to be replace with more footage of the club

ParticipantJoe,
What 3D program did you use to create the logo and what program are you doing your editing in?
Normally, you would export either an image sequence from your 3d program (usually in Tiff format) or a video file that supports both RGB + Alpha so that you can have a transparent background. Once you have your image sequence or video file you would import it into your editing program and place it on a track above the video you want to use it as a wipe for just like any other piece of video footage.

ParticipantStills are imported the same way any other asset is, File>Import.
An important thing to keep in mind is that C4D needs to export them as a numerical sequence and if you want transparency you have to set C4D to export an alpha channel.
Import numbered still image files as one clip
- Make sure that each still image file name contains an equal number of digits at the end and has the correct file extension for example, file000.bmp, file001.bmp, and so forth.
- Choose File > Import.
- Locate and select the first numbered file in the sequence, select the Numbered Stills check box at the bottom of the Import window, and click Open. When Numbered Stills is selected, Adobe Premiere Pro interprets each of the numbered files as a single frame in a video clip.
