It is not as complicated as it seems!
First, we set up the comps we need. We take the precomp, create a new main comp with it and in the main comp, we duplicate the predomp, flip it horizontally, duplicate it again, flip it vertically and one more time duplicate it and flip it horiziontally.
It's 4 times the same comp, which we now need to animate. It's mostly simple keyframe animations
of the rotation, scale and position of shapes. All nicely smoothed out be editing the speed curves in the graph editor.
Some small parts need to be done frame by frame though... It won't take long!
Finally, we add a layer style - bevel and emboss, and some gradient ramps, to give it a unique look.
I guess the main task in this tutorial is to figure out, how animating a shape in the precomp turns out in the main comp.
