HELP! Need to figure out how to animate things!

Hey guys, so my friends and I are starting a filming group, and we came up with a logo, but I just need help animating it as I am completely unfamiliar with that process! I am editing on Premiere Pro and have After Effects as well.

So here is the logo.

Essentially I want to have it that the infinity sign animates itself, like so, where it stats at one point, and then animates the rest of the logo, as if it were being drawn along the path of the logo, kind of like this.

So the animation begins at the "S" point, animates itself around the infinity sign, and ends at the "F" point, and then Continuum would fade in, which is not a problem. Its just animating the actual logo I don't know how to do. I tried messing around with various masks and key framing it along the mask path, but i just could not get it how I wanted.

I hope I explained what I want to do well enough, and any help would be greatly appreciated as I am lost on this subject!
 
Plenty of ways you could do it. The easiest would be use a stroke in AE, and animate the start and end rate.

Cheak out the grafiti tutorial on Video co pilot should help you alot.
 


like this? I just did it by keyframing a feathered mask, I'm sure there's more efficient ways to do this, but you could do a good job with it pretty quickly.
