Loading Animations for Sbux Partner Apps

2016

Background:

We had a bit of a downtime, so I wanted to add some fun element to our apps. Prior to this, the apps had default iOS and android loading spinners implemented. 

Upon reviewing a couple options for the animation (mug and a starbucks to-go cup), we determined that although the to-go cup is iconic, it enforced the brand too much and could potentially look too busy (outline of the cup + logo dot). 

The below gifs show the latest loading animations for both apps.

Android

iOS
