GIF Animation - Custom Animation

I don't think very abstractly when it comes to my creative pursuits. So I asked myself the question, "What would a rotating Star Wars helmet actually be doing?" My guess is it's being portrayed in a hologram. So with my custom variation, I attempted to recreate the hologram-look as seen in the Star Wars movies. Probably could have gotten it closer to the real thing if I had used After Effects, but this'll do for now.

I did two versions of this. The first one is on a black background. The second utilizes the GIF transparency, so theoretically it is somewhat more see-through on any kind of background like the real holograms, though the quality obviously suffers around the edges since GIFs can't handle fine feathering.
