Turn a picture into a little spinner
February 24, 2021 1:20 PM Subscribe
I've got an image here (it's a company logo) and it would be ideal if I could "somehow?" turn it into an animated spinner. How can I do this given I have incredibly limited artistic skill?
I'm making an R application which loads a bunch of data and is therefore a bit slow.
I'm adding some spinners using the waiter package.
One of the things this lets me do is add an animated Gif as a spinner (or a custom spinner, but that might be more difficult?)
Our company logo looks ideal to use as a spinner. I can totally imagine some kind of animated thing with it splitting apart and recombining, but at the very most basic I'd like to make it spin around.
What is the best way for me to achieve this?

Response by poster: I can send one to anyone interested. It's quite a small company though, so I'm avoiding linking for the time being.

Best answer: Maybe try https://loading.io/animation/icon - upload your image then choose the Spin animation?

If this feature is going anywhere near public use, check with your company's communications people: messing around with visual identity can be a BFD for a company, and I usually get unbelievable pushback if I suggest it.

Response by poster: That little tool is exactly what I was after thanks!
Good heads up on the policy check as well. I don't think we're a big enough company to have communication people, but it's going through the appropriate channels so will be easily undoable if anyone takes unmbrage.
