Since the Half-Life 25th Anniversary Update, the main menu can show an animated logo at the top: three frames that flicker, plus a large blurred copy that drifts behind them. A new mod has it turned off. You turn it on and make it in the Title editor, and the tool writes every file it needs when you save.
1. Open the Title editor
Open the Menu dashboard and click the Title card.
2. Show the logo
In the LOGO section, set the switch from Hidden to Visible. The preview now shows the logo over the menu.

Click Generate from text, type your title in Text, pick a Color and click Generate. The tool draws all five pictures in the Half-Life style: the three frames and the large pair.
` for a lower-case lambda or ' for an upper-case one.
4. Check the frames (optional)

5. Save the title
Click File > Save or press Ctrl+S. The Title card on the Menu dashboard now reads Logo image · animated.
