If you can create the individual frames, then making an animated GIF is simple.

yah, but whats a good program for that?

Well, there are two stages. First you have to generate the frames, as individual files, then you have to assemble them into an animated GIF.

Use whatever graphics program you like to make each slide. You can use Gimp to make the animation itself.
I would have suggested gif construction set (http://www.mindworkshop.com/alchemy/gifcon.html) but it doesn't seem to be shareware any more.
Edit, I may be wrong there, check the download (http://www.mindworkshop.com/alchemy/gifcon.html#download) link.

To make the above one, I used povray to generate the slides, and imagemagick to animate them. povray is available for Windows, but I think imagemagick is only linux.

what about using flash?

what about using flash?Not everyone has flash. If Reyer just wants to make an animated logo, then a GIF is the best option.

Can you post a flash animation in here, just for comparison? ;)
