Oh thanks for pointing that out Did'nt notice.


Well you could open/make an image, put the logo in drag the image down a bit - save - drag down more -save- drag down even more -save- and then comes in the 2005 the same way.

Or you could just redo the image over and over in the different positions.

Then you just open them all in a .gif animator and save.

Erm, find a program with good tweening capabilities. I enjoy making animations in flash. You can export to gif. Imageready will do the same i have less experience of that method.

If you use tweening features like motion or shape you can make a short small image and convert to .gif. I use imageready for touching up, and an online tool which will optimize filesize and quality etc for animations. You can make some really nice stuff that way esp emoticons. I'm workin on a few.

Here is a more easy one I did in Ulead PhotoImpact first to added the bug layer. I then saved it as a .ufo file and opened it in Ulead GIF Animator 5.
Ok now with it open I see the two layers and down below it shows the frames and right now I have only the one frame. I make a copy of the frame and move the bug. Then make a copy of that frame and move the bug again. I used the arrow key to more the bug 15 clickes in each of the 15 frames but the 1st one.

Hewee frame by frame takes a long time, thats why i chose tweening in flash with keframes. It really helps. I'll go make a quick image with keframes, or you could check out my fly-n-bump on deviantart.
