I have looked on youtube.com to find an example and didn't have any luck, but I am hopeful someone here is familiar with the effect. I am wanting to recreate the Bud (might be Bud Select) commercial that has the water droplet that falls and splashes on a surface. When the the smaller droplets bounce off the surface they create the Budweiser crown logo. Obviously it is for another client and I would need to adjust it accordingly, but I am hopeful someone can point in the right direction on how to recreate this effect. Thanks for your time!

I don't know about after effects, but I would try this effect using 3d max and the plugin glu3d and pwrapper from 3d aliens. I would have a black and white pic of the logo you want to create and use it as a particle source. I would bind those particles to a spherical gravity warp and draw them to one point. I would then use pwrapper to transform all of the particles into one mesh. Apply a shader and render it out. Then, in afx, simply reverse the direction of the footage and the particles will look like they splash up from one point. Then just time it up with a water drop and you have the effect. I hope this helps give you some ideas.
