    Mathias,
    First, check to make sure that the rotational expression is enabled and has not been turned off. This happens sometimes if you change something that the expression needs. After Effects will give you an error and will disable the expression. The expression wont turn back on even when you fix the cause of the error. Either click inside the expression box and then click out or click the equals sign next to the expression. See if this fixes the problem. If not, let me know and I will try to help figure it out.

    I did the animation one time, and it worked. Second time when i tried to do it with a new logo it didnt work out. The stiches wont go different ways?

    Eric, it is a bunch of math, but I felt like it made sense to tell you why it worked, as opposed to just showing the expression.
    Eran, thanks for your comment. I enjoy your style as well. Now if I can only find a crazy brother to be in my tutorials......
