'Fighting' captions (particles?)

[Trevor_Asq]

Please be gentle- I'm an editor not a designer/animator. I do have access to, and operational knowledge of, AE & Fusion.

Brief (school project for my son) is to have two slogans 'fighting', with each trying to dominate the screen (stage backdrop for a dance performance)

Before I animate this, with dodgy keyframes & sketchy collisions & repulsion, is there anything that will help me out by giving the logos repulsive properties?

Many thanks for your fine help.

Without spending money on 3rd party plug-ins I'd look to Dan Ebberts: Expressioneer's Design Guide

The simulation section and elastic connections may give you some ideas.
