Incorporate animated gif into logo

Post by Stuart »

I know absolutely nothing about graphic design, and the only decent graphic suite that I have is Corel Draw 12, which I got from a friend who bought X3. Here is what I want to do. I have this as the logo on our church website:

Image

I have five of the same logo, each with a different background colour: black, blue, cyan, red and green. I also have this animated gif (in five different sizes):

Image

What I want to do is incorporate the animated gif into the logo, on the left where the space is. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. Can anyone tell me how to do this (assuming it's possible to do it in Corel) or, better yet, offer to do it for me?
