Animated Loading Screen

I'd like to have a splash screen with some image animation.

The image is of the letter 'N' which needs to be filled with a single color in a fashion that makes each line (out of the 3) fill on its turn.

Is there a more elegant way than using UIImageAnimation?

EDIT: Take this image for example: http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/64282/64282,1224026572,14/stock-photo-christmas-green-snowflake-capital-letter-n-18910459.jpg

Think of that green filling as what needs to be animatedly filled.

  • You could use a CAShapeLayer to animate the drawing of text. I could give you an example, but to be honest Ole Begemann has an awesome example:
