Awesome Inc.

Awesome Inc. is an independent animation and motion design studio based in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded in 2005, it produces character-driven comedy, episodic television, commercial animation, broadcast graphics and promotional work. Its practice combines digital 2D character animation with traditional drawing, motion design and visual effects, serving television networks, streaming platforms, advertising agencies and commercial brands.

The studio began as a motion graphics and design boutique creating on-air promos, commercial graphics and network packaging. It developed close connections with Atlanta’s broadcasting community, including Turner Broadcasting and Cartoon Network, before expanding its episodic animation work. That progression connects its graphic design background with the character performance and visual storytelling required for animated series.

Animation and television

Awesome Inc. has a substantial history with Adult Swim comedy programming. Its work includes animation and compositing for Squidbillies and Aqua Teen Hunger Force, animation production for Birdgirl, and contributions to 12 oz. Mouse, Tender Touches and Gēmusetto. It also provided visual effects and animation integration for Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell and animation for the television special Harvey Birdman: Attorney General.

Its production services span storyboarding, layout, character rigging, animation and compositing. Alongside series production, the studio has worked on animated specials, short-form projects and feature-length animation. Its broader production portfolio includes Star Trek: Very Short Treks, produced for CBS Studios in 2023, and animation work associated with Jodie, the feature spin-off of Daria.

Commercials and broadcast design

Commercial and promotional production remains another part of the studio’s work. Projects range from animated brand narratives and online campaigns to network identities, title sequences and broadcast spots. Its portfolio includes promotional work for FX programming such as Welcome to Wrexham and What We Do in the Shadows, alongside campaigns for KFC, Sour Patch Kids, Synovus Bank and Carvel. The studio also contributed animation to Adult Swim’s surreal live-action and animation hybrid Too Many Cooks.
