Given that the important elements of the logo are static, with the dynamic portion changing at a very low rate, such that it is quickly and easily scanned by the eye without requiring over-scanning, which is what causes eye strain, this particular animation is not problematic.

As for the "neat" or "cool" factor, bear in mind that neither is what your visitors seek, and is therefore of little to no value here.
