That would be a bad thing IMHO.

To be honest, the frontpage of the quicktoots almoste even  bad ad the 
most brutal advertisement website with all those thing flashing in your 
face (...exaggeration...) .

Ok, your content is far from 'brutal' ;), but it is the same when its 
comes to irritating flash/ animated/ moving things. Anyone specialist 
would say this is a bad thing to do on a website, unless you want to 
earn quick money and put some animated nude woman in your website... :/

I like the idea of the website! :) , but when it comes to the logo, I 
only see disadvantages of (to much) animated stuff there.
