Thats a pretty nice graphics job, where did you get it?

Thank you. theTURN is a non-profit organization that I work for and our graphic designer created it.

Can someone tell me how to make these images 3D and spinning? I have no idea how to do it! Thank you.

You need to get some software to work with. Xara3d is a cool little program that does just that, make things spin.

Here are the links to a tutorial.

Myself, I would make a 3D model of the logo which opens up all kinds of possibilities. Xara3d is rather limited in 3D graphics production but will suffice for spinning a logo.

Ok, here is a little help, I have your logo in transformed lines and curves. This is usually the main to a bitmap image (pixel) a vector graphics (lines) to make.

The rest is easy, simply copy and animate Xara3D.

The XAR file for you and a small example of animation ...

he must have figured it out
how do you cut out the shape so well.
the only method i can find so far is to trace for an hour in xtreme.

If you are referring to my post (#12), I didn't, it was redrawn from scratch. If you compare the two, you'll see they differ.
