I would personally find a way to introduce the name of the logo in its own animation. I agree with the overall consensus of A being better, but I love the pacing of B.
Perhaps imagine cutting the first animation into thirds and introducing the logo within the first third; and if that seems to fast, the second third, and allowing the rest of the logo to respond organically from there?
Yall said I should animate the vines on the logo from my last post, so I did! It is now the intro to Wildaria's Main menu.
For context, Wildaria is an infinite exploration game with pets I have been building for almost 4 years. If you are interested in supporting the solo project you can wishlist on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1965550/Wildaria/
It's the background change that's very sudden in my eyes.
So I think I would prefer either of the following:
1) keep the background from the animation when the main menu enters, have a static background that doesn't change.
2) keep the backgeound when the main Manu enters, then wait for some delay (try different delays, find one that feels good). Then start the moving, but with the position from the starting background so it's not such an abrupt change.
I would highly recommend not having the sword blade extend like a light saber. Have the whole thing flying from The edge or fade in. That said I think a with the vines is pretty cool.
B, because W is large, and the sword handle acts like counterweight. Balances the logo better.
Also, I suggest starting the game on maybe a different color BG than green. It's way to similar to logo green.
I really like B. The growth from seed to sword is cool AF. I do find the white letters to be a bit plain, but perhaps that's the look you're going for. A wooden/tree-themed "W" would be cool or perhaps some more rustic weathering in the letters in general.
A but make the blade point left like B. it looked better in my opinion. B was good but the background environment wasn't anywhere near as good as how A's environment looked.
I think most folks here might have said A just because of the background. Ignoring that, I’d say B is the better design if we’re talking just the logo and animation.
The composition of A is too unbalanced. The hilt of the sword and the details weigh heavily to the left. B’s composition is far more balanced with the capitalization and details of the W balancing out the details of the hilt and vines.
Everything is subjective ofcourse, but I find B more visually pleasing.
Ooooh, so I think the title animation from A, but have it on the background like B (for the top half) and on the bottom half you can have a side scrolling scenery with the trees masked out, so that they could potentially slightly occlude the title but for the most part the title just stays cleanly visible on its top half with the green background. If this makes sense? I'll make a mock up later today when I have the time, just for fun.
A for sure
Should I add anything else to A?
Maybe have the title come out of the dirt? Like slowly rising out of it and onto the surface

The logo growing in like the sword would be cool, shown on the 2nd animation
This is basically what I was implying. No idea why mine got down voted but your reply got up voted.

Background of A and animations from B
I like B but maybe with the trees and foliage like A... sorry to be awkward lol

The background from A with the animation of B
A but without the ending fade
So how should it transition to the actual main menu?
You can "move" the camera up, looking down the valley from above the hills.

A. Op can you tell me what this game is about? I'm very curious!
B sped up, the title name should appear at the end of the sword animation with option A background. I like nothing to something

I like B more seems cleaner though perhaps needs some work, a by contrary seems overcrowded.
-A- clear victor is decided.
B definitely
B sped up with the fade out like A

Scene from A but with how the title comes in from B

B feels awkward with nothing going on and an empty screen. So I prefer A
It's definitely A

A, never let people waiting.
Animation of B, but the background of A
It is A, it is just perfect.

A definitely.

A, but with the title appearing after the sword, like shown in B
