Halloween last year 2008, AOL had an animated Halloween logo to help celebrate the day with part of their logo turning black, and the O changing into a Jack O' Lantern, with bats flying out of the logo. It only lasted for Halloween and then it was forever gone. The animated version still exists on the internet. (see logo below) It is a flash SWF. I am searching for this animated version. Does anyone who reads this have a copy of this SWF or know the link to this file? Please reply if you do! Thanks!
Well, after much searching on the internet I found the 2008 AOL Halloween animated logo I was looking for. Persistence pays off! It's cool! Now on to searching for other animated logos to add to my collection!
In case you haven't already tried it, you can make your own animations. I sometimes use UnFREEz from WhitSoft Development. It is a free program and extremely easy to use. You have to provide your own images for frames and convert to GIF format, which you can do with an image editor. Just drag and drop the GIF images into the interface, set the frame delay time, and hit "Make Animated GIF." UnFREEz will take care of the rest, including automatic interlacing and transparency detection. It is a very small download.
