Magna Systems Logo

Trying to come up with a logo for one of my side projects that I am working on with another developer. It’s a web map based monitoring system, so trying to convey that through the logo.

First attempt at creating a GIF on Dribbble. It’s not as smooth as I would like it to be. Any suggestions on how to improve that?

Think I would like to have an animated logo in the top left corner of the application. But would it be annoying or distracting for a user? Maybe loop once? I’ve attached a version with map pins, and a static version as well. Thoughts?

Thanks for viewing!

P. S. Magna is Latin for ‘monitoring’.
