Rotate Image 360 degrees as it fades in

Hey guys,

I have a logo that fades using javascript after the page loads (Example Here). I was wondering how I would go about making the logo make one full rotation(360 degrees) while it fades in, and then have it stop rotating?

This is my code so far just for the fade in:

$header_logo = $('.header__logo');
$header_logo.delay(500).fadeIn(1250);

Thanks!

Here it is in css working on hover. You can apply the changes via jQuery for the same effect. Obviously in reverse order (invisible to visible)

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Object</title>
    <style>
        #box{
            width: 300px;
            height: 300px;
            background-color: pink;
            margin: 100px auto;
            -webkit-transform: rotate(0deg);
            -ms-transform: rotate(0deg);
            transform: rotate(0deg);
            opacity: 1;
            filter: alpha(opacity=1);
            transition: all 1s;
        }

        #box:hover{
            -webkit-transform: rotate(180deg);
            -ms-transform: rotate(180deg);
            transform: rotate(180deg);
            opacity: 0;
            filter: alpha(opacity=0);
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>

    <div id="box"></div>

</body>
</html>

It might be easier to just add a class like this

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Object</title>
    <style>
        #box{
            width: 300px;
            height: 300px;
            background-color: pink;
            margin: 100px auto;
            -webkit-transform: rotate(0deg);
            -ms-transform: rotate(0deg);
            transform: rotate(0deg);
            opacity: 0;
            filter: alpha(opacity=0);
            transition: all 1s;
        }

        #box.flipped{
            -webkit-transform: rotate(180deg);
            -ms-transform: rotate(180deg);
            transform: rotate(180deg);
            opacity: 1;
            filter: alpha(opacity=1);
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>

    <div id="box"></div>

    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
    <script>
        $('#box').delay(800).addClass('flipped');
    </script>
</body>
</html>

Thanks! Ya I was trying hard to figure out how I would do that since it was activated on hover. The class makes a lot more sense. Hopefully I can take it from here, I'll let you know the results. Thanks again!

No problem. The Jekyll site looks good
