About

The Logo Animation System adds a professional, looping textdraw animation to your server.
It displays a sequence of messages – such as server name, website, and connect info – with a smooth horizontal slide and fade effect.

Perfect for:

• Server branding in the top‑right corner.
• Showing server information without cluttering the screen.
• Providing a modern, polished feel.

---

Preview

Here’s a preview of the animation in action:

The text slides in, stays for a few seconds, then slides out. The cycle repeats with the next message.

Note: To add your own preview, replace preview.gif in the repository root with an actual GIF recording of the animation.
You can create one using tools like ScreenToGif or LICEcap.
