How can I add animated guild names to intros
 

I'm looking for info on what program[s] will allow me to create special characters in order to build an animated custom guild logo / name display to place during the intro of my movies. For example, show the letters of my guild flying into the screen one at a time on fire. So far the movie editors I've tried out only have preset templates for title / subtitle animations and that's it.
