Once again, this tutorial is for the beginner level. Use your own modeled logo as you like. I have chosen and modeled a simple x-like logo as example as you can see in the picture below. You may like to use your pre-made logo or model a new one for this tutorial. The final rendered image that we get after completing this tutorial would be as shown below:

Final rendered animated image.
 
Step 1
Since this type of animation is not a big deal I will cover some material and advanced lighting issues in this tutorial. Also, I will describe two alternative methods for such logo animation (one after another).

Step 2
First, we should adjust the Pivot point. So, go to Hierarchy panel > enable “Affect Pivot Only” mode > click “Center to Object”.

Step 3
While “Affect Pivot Only” is still enabled, move the pivot point down in the Front viewport as shown. Then turn OFF “Affect Pivot Only” mode.
