In our area of planet Earth today, the big news is that there will be a total eclipse. I got the idea to tweak up the MajorGeeks Logo to commemorate the day - but I only had a few minutes.
I stumbled on a website, EZGif https://ezgif.com/, that made it ridiculously easy to do what I wanted.
I just made a few images of the logo with black dots in the correct(ish) places, uploaded them to the website, and after a few seconds of learning the capabilities, viola—a commemorative logo.
It was a quick and straightforward method, albeit rough around the edges -- but that is not EZGif problem, I could have made a lot more samples to make the animation smoother.... Down, dirty, but funny, right? The slickest feature was letting the image, not loop infinitely - which is not very eclipse-like.
Believe it or not, the entire endeavor took me less than five minutes.
But wanted to give them some MG love and credit for making a product that really helped out today. Cudos!
