Comment (by azaozz):

 I'm having some second thoughts on it too. Quite CPU intensive, on slower
 PCs (tablets, smart phones) interferes with typing in TinyMCE (also a
 little bit with typing in any text field).

 The fact that it uses css only is very attractive. Perhaps we can look
 into using some simpler shapes, 3 pulsating squares, or circles, or...
 Something that can be animated by using css transitions directly and
 doesn't need the trails.

 The "old way" of doing something similar is to have separate transparent
 /semi-transparent png frames. It scales down well and looks really good,
 but needs 10-12 small images.
