I have a 2D logo that consists of 2 seperate pieces. When I spin the logo on the Y axis, both objects look completely flat like one single object when the spin gets to 90º
I would like to add some depth between the 2 objects to make the scene look more 3D. Can this be done?

If the two pieces are on separate layers, try changing the group to 3D and adding a camera. Changing Z axis position of one of the pieces will move it closer or further away. Combine this with moving the camera and y axis rotation of the pieces to get what you want.
you can give the animation an extra 'kick' by adding some simulated 3D-ness (no real 3D, sort-of)

… using this neat trick:

(yepp, I fudged with the bump-outs... meant as a fast demo)
For real 3D, there's mObject ... not cheap but awesome!
Can you email me this project? I looked at those tutorials, but I'm just not getting it. I'm dragging the glass on the Z axis, but all that does is make it bigger or smaller - it doesn't move it away from the "A".

ooops - did I save it? and where? and 'as''? ... < diggin' my harddrives >
Lucky you, I had 😁
send me an eMail (in my profile), I'll send it back to you ..
When you 'get' the idea, it is dead-simple - just piling tons-of replications so close together, that it looks 'solid' - that's why I call it semi-3D ... adding some lights hides its imperfection .. 😝
here's another example:
Glad, it inspired you!
How do I add 3D depth between two 2D objects?
