[Bkag 0]

Ok so i need to re do my logo on my forum becuase its background is currently not able to be scrolled so i have to have a nasty blue block.

So with the suggestions, feedback and help from the very few members of my forum i did a preliminary sketch of a gif animated logo, i use gimp the GAP addon

Anyway i dont think i like this concept that much so i need a new concept, and the background needs to be able to be scrolled (so it cant be a picture or somthing not horizontally symetrical)

Here it is

How about an RC car spinning out?

Ok that sounds good, but how would i do that with a gif logo, i would need to somehow convert a video into frames? is that how it works?

That is a pretty large file size to use for a Logo/Banner. It took 9 seconds to download on my Cable connection. I can only imagine that it will be too large for many dial-up users.
Once you have it on your site, do a check at this site: http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/.
It will tell you all about the things you can do to make your site load faster.

and it's not even going smooth after loading. because you have used less frames.

I know it isnt smooth, this is just a concept, i wanted to try it and see how is worked thats why i used less frames, if i had used more frames and didnt like it i would have wasted more time.Jlhaslip: Hmm it is big, maybe i didnt use the optimise for gif, come to think of it, the last animation i did was 25 frames and was 107000 bytes i think so i dont think i shrunk the file down, it doesnt matter though because i am not going to use this logo, i dont like it.
