    hey,

    I’m trying to animate the traditional recycling logo with the three arrows wrapping around a triangular loop. I’ve tried bezier warp to no avail. I want to know if there is any way to twist the arrows like the logo has.

    any ideas?

    Thanks, Tony

    well, I did build it in illustrator, but I want to animate the arrows making that twisting motion like the logo. kind of like tieing a ribbon.

    Thanks, Tony

    thanks anyway.

    Thanks, Tony

    Post a url of what the finished logo looks like. If it is the one I am thinking of, this should be pretty simple.
    The solid straight line of the arrow would be one graphic without the arrow point. Mask it off and animate the mask to reveal the line going around. Then on a layer above, place the triagle arrow head and animate that to go just before the mask animation of the line.
    I’ll try to make it and send you the AE File if you show me the actual logo you want to use.
