Animation is a common element of many GUIs. Whether a rotating fan, slowly filling indicator, or a glowing element, subtle animations can enhance a GUI and make it more professional and modern.

At the core of every animation is a series of images that, when rotated through in-place one after another, form the impression of an animated object.

Here is an example of three fan images, all in fully transparent alpha-blended .png format, designed to give the impression of a rotating fan:
