Re: Animated gif's
I did that one using 'Xara Photo & Graphic Designer' but it was so long ago I'd be hard pressed to say how.
I've opened it up in the program and it says there are 7 frames. I know I made the cogs originally by drawing the circles, then adding a 'v' (I think) of a certain font repeated many times and then joined to the perimeter of the outer circles. Then just a matter of rotating the 'cogs' on their axis by a few degrees and making frames of the new positions.
If I had to make that animation again, I'd have to think hard how to do it.
