You will all be relieved to know that I won't be asking you to make some logo spin as a special favour that I would be eternally grateful for.
Can anyone explain to me what the appeal is of a spinning logo? To my mind it detracts greatly from any design, forcing the viewer to look at the unavoidable distraction and taking attention away from the rest of the web page (in my case the site since spinning Logos don't frequent what I perceive as good sites).
Do I hate animation? No I love animation, but in the right place and the right way.
Have I ever dabbled with spinning Logos? Yes, probably ten years back. The first one I did was using Lightwave and probably the second one was done with FutureSplash (now called Flash!). I was impressed by being able to make them, but fortunately they never, ever made it to the outside world. I quickly decided that my foray into spinning things was just pointless.
Just what is the enduring appeal of a spinning logo on talkgraphics and should I just consider it as tasteful as a Burberry hat?
Someone show me a tasteful and effective spinning logo. Please.
Paul
