Shown below is a recreation of Reddit's loading animation. This loading spinner was recreated in After Effects and exported for the web.

Many companies, whether “formal” in nature or not use custom loading animations on their apps and websites. Take for example this example here, Reddit’s. If you aren’t familiar with Reddit, they describe themselves as “Reddit is an American social news aggregation, web content rating, and discussion website.”

This recreation, in a different color, of Reddit’s loading screen is actually not a GIF unlike some may think. It’s in JSON format for the web, making it leaps and bounds more efficient for the web and app development (more on the benefits in the section below).  If you’re looking to read more about JSON or “Lottie” animations, feel free to learn more here.
