Loaders present a unique chance to shape users' perception of time, alleviating frustration and enhancing the overall experience. Experimentation with animations, while staying on brand is a great idea.

To design a custom loader:

• Consider whether your loader will be determinate, providing users with a clear endpoint, or indeterminate, signaling ongoing processes.
• Determine the appropriate duration, balancing the need for prompt feedback with the natural pacing of the task.
• Create animations that align with your brand identity, maintaining a cohesive visual language.
• Ensure the loader communicates relevant information about the ongoing task, using elements like progress bars or percentage indicators when applicable.

Test the custom loader in different scenarios, gather user feedback, and iterate to refine its effectiveness and contribution to an enhanced user experience.
