What i need before i start my animation

So before I start producing my animation I will need to know how I'am going to do it, first thing I need to do is what programs I need to use to produce this animation and that is really simple the program that I will be using is Maya 13, the reason for that is because I want this animation to be 3D and I'am very confident using this program modeling the objects I need and animating. The second thing I need is to know what it needs to be modeled on 3D and the objects are the box and the E4 logo that is the only two things I need to model so before I go any further I need to create the topology for both of though models so I have a rough idea of how they should look when I'am modeling them.
