1. In the first step of our free License GIF, License/Certificate paper, and badge outlines, scale up as concentric circles -like a target dartboard-, around a simple green circle with a slightly darker color stroke.
2. Then as the black stroke circles bounce back with the shape path into forming a paper, Two lines representing text on the paper reveal with trim paths effect while our ribbon tail pulls out. Simultaneously while the ribbon’s outer center of the badge gets a zigzag effect to look more like a ribbon, it gets a drop shadow effect to look more like a badge on top of the paper on our free license GIF animated Icon.
3. As the paper margins and lines representing a text, bounce back to their final form, the badge and ribbon on our free certificate animated GIF rotate back and forth a couple of times.
4. finally everything scales back to the starting green circle, as the ribbon pulls back into the badge. while the paper stroke shape path changes into a circle as the drop shadow effect disappears. I did this to make our starting green circle and form a motion-graphics loop.
