Great fun! ;P Seriously, its really funny to see it spin and spin. but is the shape anything in particular? Or just a random thing?

Nice one MoonS
Reasonable size (I always have this 50k figure in my mind as a limit to the size of my sigs, although I often break it). It's clean, smooth, different. It does the business for me. Looks like it might be some kind of rotating blade mayhap?

Moon S .. correct me if I'm wrong .. but the shape on the inside of the outer circle or twist .. tell me did you make that 'S' type of shape expand and contract while moving in a circle on purpose or that just come about by accident .. or are my eyes playing tricks on me

btw .. I like it either way .. I like the color of choices

PORTFOLIO0

In fact, I was playing in Photoshop with spikes that I tried to animate, when I discovered that a polar coordinate filter transformed my spikes in a "m" and a "s". I created an animation out of it, but it looked really weird, so I tried another way to achieve this. I ran a polar coordinate filter on the existing pre-built shapes in Photoshop. I obtained strange looking shapes, but not really what I wanted. Finally, I gave up about the letters and concentrated on creating a nice animated shape.

This is the shape that I animated :



And then, I ran a polar coordinates filter on it, adjusted some settings and here is this sig... The expand and contract you mentionned Rammstein comes from the polar coordinates filter (I think). It wan't intended as a blade or a radar... Just as a twirling red thingie lol. Definitely weird, but I found it nice.

Thank you for the nice comments
