I was bored today so I copied Blue's avatar. It was harder than I thought, and it took a little while to get it right. But, I think the result is pretty close to the original. I made it all in Blender, and put the GIF together in the Gimp.

I was wondering what you meant when you messaged me saying that you were bored. Bored enough to right click and save image as :P

No, I wouldn't do that, it would be stealing. Anyways, my version is cooler. :P

Yeah, for some reason I just animated in that direction. I don't know why it spins so fast. I'm using 80 frames of animation, with 40 it would spin way too fast. Maybe there's a trick I haven't figured out. Brighter makes it look cooler in my opinion.

I made a dark version so we don't get mine and yours confused.

Mine is spinning the right direction. Everything should always spin clockwise.

Spanky says the dark version needs more blue, what do you guys think?

That's redundant.

Choose a different color, I'm blueblaster.

Yeah, that's why I chose black. The about 1000 lights are still blue colored, but I can only change them one at a time.

Alright, I tried my best to make the light a yellow orange color. I also used the Blender node system to remove all color except for the lights, so the sphere and the background should be totally black.

Now it just reminds me of the Universal Studios logo:
