To add an animated logo to Webflow that starts playing on load and does not replay, you can follow these steps:

Create an animated logo: Use your preferred design software (e.g. Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or After Effects) to create an animated version of your logo. Export it as a video file or a GIF.
Upload the animated logo: In your Webflow project, go to the Assets panel and upload the video file or GIF of your animated logo. Make sure to optimize the file size for the web to ensure fast loading times.
Add a container element: On the page where you want to add the animated logo, create a new div block or use an existing one to act as a container for the logo.
Set the container to a fixed height and width: Adjust the dimensions of the container element to match the size of your animated logo. This will ensure that the logo displays properly.
Add a background video or image: Within the container element, add a background video or image using the uploaded file of your animated logo. Set the video or image to cover the entire container.
Adjust the background settings: Customize the background settings of the container, such as position, size, and repeat. To prevent the video or image from replaying, set the repeat option to "no-repeat".
Enable Autoplay and Mute (for videos): If you're using a video file, ensure that the video element has the Autoplay and Mute options enabled. This will automatically play the video on page load without sound.
Preview and publish: Preview your website to see how the animated logo looks and behaves. Make any necessary adjustments to the container or background settings. Once you're happy with the result, publish your changes to make the animated logo live on your Webflow site.

By following these steps, you can successfully add an animated logo to your Webflow site that starts playing on load and does not replay.
