There was a recent change in the design of the team page, removing all animations. This request has become irrelevant due to this. Thanks for all the supporters!

In the team page, 40 employees got a cool animation, e.g. Geoff animation.

However, looks like no new animations were created for a long long time - is it possible to add animation for some of the new recruits?

    @Oded oh my! And nobody can replace him/her? I see "graphic design by Sean Gallagher" - can't Sean do animations? :)

    Thank you for volunteering @Oded. ;-) That said, its a series of stills that are sized appropriately and combined into an animated gif (with a tool such as lcdf.org/gifsicle ).

  • @MichaelT but someone have to take those pictures... maybe the retired employee wasn't designer like I was thinking but rather responsible to take those pictures. :(

    @Hack umm, that was just a joke. It's a tag that does not exist. You can put any tag you like, and even if doesn't exist, get such a page.

Before it's closed, I wanted to stash all the past animations but alas, they changed the whole source to some dynamic picture creator and archive.org is borked when it comes to jQuery.

I was able to salvage some via Google, if anyone can find more please add them as well. Thanks!

Since it's going to be lots of animations, wrapping it as code - just click "Run code snippet" to see all of them.
