Quote Hi all,

How do you create a spinning logo? So it looks like a coin spinning on a table, not rotating like a wheel.

Client wants their logo to spin 180 degrees while zooming out so the whole effect will look like a spinning coin moving away. 3 second clip is all, but I can't figure out how to do it and all I can find is someone rotating a flat image.

Running PD16 ultimate.

Hi JamieA660 -

Here's half the idea...

You can use a 3D-Like title template, with the logo added as the texture fill. Using Wingdings font & typing "n", you'll get a circle. If you use 3D Spin Horizontal as your starting and ending effects, you'll have a spinning disc.

The reason it's only half the idea is that you cannot keyframe 3D-like titles to create the zoom you're after. There probably is a way to do that, but I haven't stumbled on it yet.

Here's an example of a spinning disc with a logo planted on it. You can modify that one, if you like.
