Sort of circling the globe or an object, each word following the other in a curved or circular path

Hi David,
The very best advice I could give you would be to tell your boss this is an incredibly bad idea for the following reasons:- unless the animation is very small and very low res it will be a huge download and add precisely nothing to the value of your website
- the "Universal Pictures" words going around a globe thing is really naff and outdated, it's very 1990s
Special effects should be used carefully. Too many bells and whistles can be distracting. Useability studies have revealed that most users are put off by visual noise. Consider your users at all times. I would seriously reconsider the value of doing this. Just because you can does not mean that you should.
If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.
They're going to kill me anyway and I'd love to die the way I lived:
Avoiding Manual Labour.
