Imagine a simple circle. Now over top of this simple circle, you have a smaller circle that 'orbits' along its perimeter. This smaller circle is a gradient from transparent on the outside to opaque at its centre. When this 'circle' orbits around the logo, it would reveal the logo underneath, as a focused flashlight might offer. From this you get two easy variations -- one which is almost exactly the same as your current version, except with a 'circular' radar line. For the second, you could try keeping the entire logo darkened while revealing it as the circle rotates around it, gradually letting the circle's trail fade back to the darker logo. I'd give you a sketch, but I am in a complete rush this morning, so I apologize. I imagine you can figure it out from here though. And who knows, sometimes accidents are the best creative spark. > PS: sorry for inactivity in the channel.
