I dislike all animations which add no function.
Smoothing transition is not a function.

I have no issues with an animation on something I am going to interact with, unless it slows down the interaction. So if I have to wait for the animation to finish, it's an obstruction. If the animation is not on something I'm interacting with, it's a distraction.

So in case of logos. They can animate when I hover/focus them. They can animate in about screens. They can animated during loading screens. But that's it.

Thanks, @michielhendriks for sharing your opinion, I also agree that micro-interactions with the logos are ok but not timeline animation that will make me wait before I can see the content or use the menu, for example to go to the desired page.
