How to create an animated logo GIF ?
Hello Makers 👋
I am launching a product on Product Hunt & for that I need an animated logo in form of a GIF.
If anyone knows how that can be done, please help me out :)
I discovered some websites where I can create it but I can't use my own logo there, they ask me to create it using their own templates.

Hey there @akashkadyan I have experience with making these. I use Adobe After Effects.
You can see some examples of what I've done here https://www.producthunt.com/@brandonesc/made I've also made our promo video for our Chrome Extension launch in After Effects, it's a great tool to learn.
I would recommend just YouTube'n - Simple Logo Animation After Effects, Spin Logo After Effects, etc... learn very simple examples, and eventually you can tie them together. I hope this helps!
Ideally for simple animations I would use photoshop. If you need a free alt you can use gimp : https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Simple_Animations/
i think you can use aftereffect and lottie
Photoshop is a great way to create animated gifs, we put a step by step guide together a few years back: https://astropad.com/how-to-create-gifs/
+1 photoshop. Should also be an import video as frames option, so you don't necessarily make the animation in PS, just export as gif
You can try this tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8ZAgMoM2YU
Or perhaps - https://loading.io/animation/icon/
I think you can do this on Canva if you already have a logo (you can animate it there). Or kapwing
Canva does have an animate feature and it's easy.
Add a background and add a foreground (your logo) click that play icon near share icon on top and 🔮🧙♂️🧙♂️
Sound to me that you will need experience in Photoshop or similar. Interested in a potential solution too :)
