LOGO ANIMATION

For this simple task, you will animate a logo.

Start with an existing logo. Perhaps you will add a glow effect. Or maybe you will move items on the logo around. Your goal is to create a simple fun animated logo.

EXAMPLE

Initial logo

Altered versions of the logo (done in Paint.net)

Resulting GIF animation

Details

The two altered frames (with the rotated flower) were done in Paint.net. Then, the original logo and the two altered logos were imported into Piskel.

EXAMPLE 2

Below is another animated logo attempt. It consists of three frames with each atom moved along its path. Note that this editing was difficult enough because the circular paths had to be repaired where the atoms were moved.

Unfortunately, our brain mixes up the atoms so we do not see a circular path for each one. Adding more frames might solve this issue. Or, having a different colour for each atom might allow your eye to better follow the atom paths.

Can you do better?

NOTE: Notice how the edge of this logo is more jagged at Example 1. That is because the logo was done using a smaller starting image. Make sure to click on the original logo above and save the larger logo file before you start.
