Make animated icons free, easy, and fast

Animated icons, symbols, and illustrations are often used to catch the eye of your audience by embedding them into your websites, mobile apps, and presentations. The animated icons with a transparent background, and good quality, can easily be used for your video production.

On DanceLogo, you can create animated icons with a clean and minimal design, which adjusts various visual display settings like background, speed, effects, acceleration, and more. The animation can be anything from a simple icon entering or exiting a scene, a looping scene with no start or end, to more complex 3D effects.

Suppose you are looking to easily create your own animated icons and improve your websites, mobile apps, videos, or any interface you need. In that case, DanceLogo is the best place where you can animate them. You don't need to be an animator expert, a motion graphic designer, or spend money. Just upload your symbols, illustration, or icon and start making your custom animated icon in minutes directly in your web browser.
