Changelogs

Version 4.5
- Added a FOMOD installer script for mod manager programs. Merged the Gaudy Gold option into the single main archive.
Version 4.0
- Updated the whole mod to function properly with the Anniversary Edition. All prior files obsolete for anyone who upgrades to to Anniversary Edition. Added two options: Gold and Steel. If you want the original Special Edition mod style, use the Steel option. If you want the spinning emblem to match the Anniversary Edition, use the Gold option. PS: I added cubemaps to both the Gold and Steel options. This was done by enabling Environmental Mapping and cubemap textures in each .nif file.
Version 3.00
- Used my original Special Edition mod as a base and simply modified the mesh and texture to match the Anniversary Edition look. Done on the prompting of user gloomfrost. First attempt at Anniversary Edition. It didn't work because I missed one new file (logo01ae.nif).
Version 2.00
- -Converted mesh to SE format.
  -Removed vertex colors to fix Bethesda's bad shading.
Version 1.01
- -Initial release.

November 13th, 2021: Mod updated to fully support the Anniversary Edition. All old versions won't work!

Choose between Anniversary Edition Gold, Gaudy Gold, or Special Edition Steel, all included in one download package.

Oh, and maybe you'd like to try my other mod, SMIM. It's pretty cool.

Watch life-affirming video below!

Skyrim Spinning Main Menu Emblem

I just made this mod for the fun of it. The main menu emblem is cool but I didn't like that I couldn't get to admire its shiny-reflective goodness since it didn't move.

Hence, I've made it rotate 360 degrees every 8 seconds (now with 4, 8, 12, and 16 second version). Now you can admire the rotation as you start up Skyrim.

I also modified the normal map to add more bump and detail since I felt the original was too flat (and had some gradient issues also).

INSTALLATION

Version 4.50 includes an installer script for use with mod manager programs like Vortex.

To install manually, download the archive and pick ONE of the folders. There are four speeds for each color option. Pick which speed you want to use. The video above uses the 8 seconds AVERAGE speed version. Then unpack ONE of the folders to your "Skyrim Special Edition\Data" folder.
