Where can I find a variety of "while you wait" spinning gear cog gif images

Question

I am looking for an image generator for images that:

Look like cogs, wheels, progress bars, etc.
Spin.
Are small, less than 20-30 pixels. 16 might be good, i.e. 'icon size'
Are simple, just 2D no need for 3d image.

All the examples I found are large 3d ones. I want one of those little ones that I can use with things like ajax while loading up a bit of the page, transferring a file, sending a large message, etc.

The android spinning gear cog is one example.

Then I can show/hide the image as I need.

I figure a lot of people will have tackled this / know good solutions.

You can generate simple animated "loading" icons on http://www.ajaxload.info

For fancier ones, try http://preloaders.net or http://www.loadinfo.net
