That's it :-) Cause the Rotating Logos a different from GP3 and GP3 Season 2000 you can/have to modify the Graphics before export them into your GP3 Season 2000 game - To do this save the (from GP3) imported MenuArts to BMP-files and remove the rotating logos from the BMP's - then load the Images back into CarsetCreator Beta 5 and export it into GP3 Season 2000.
