[edit] Summary

Non-animated high-resolution monochrome transparent version of Image:Ambigram rotating.gif (requested by w:en:User:Greg_Williams)

[edit] Do Not Superseded with PNG

Reasons it would be silly to convert this to png and delete this original (so don't):

It will not save hard drive space by uploading another fractionally smaller copy of this file, as all deleted files are now stored indefinitely.
The patents on LZW have expired -> "the GIF format may now be used freely".
The original Image:Ambigram rotating.gif is also a gif (and that one has to be for animation support).
8 bit GIF transparency is more universally supported than 8 bit PNG transparency by legacy browsers.
"The format is more suitable than GIF in instances where true-color imaging, alpha transparency, or a lossless data format are required." ... none of these are required.

If you actually wish to improve this image, and not just be a "gif is better than png" sheeple, do something useful and supersede it with a scalable vector graphic.

A vector version of this image (SVG) is available.
It should be used in place of this raster image when superior.
