Rotation issue

Hi, 

 

This is probably quite a simple querey but I have 3 icons (below) which I'm rotating

from the anchor point of the central cross. When I rotate them, I want the logos to stay the right way up, is there a way to do this without individually rotating each icon? Is there an expression for this? I'm rotating from a null btw. Thanks

Simply apply a

 

thisComp.layer("Null").transform.rotation*-1

 

Other than that it could be solved in a million ways from creating the rotation fully parametrically with sinus/ cosinus expression to parenting Nulls to the center and then referecing only their position with a simple pickwhip expression. Entirely depends how flexible and versatile you need it to be and what kind of animation outside the rotation is going on.

Amazing! Thank you. 

 

I knew it would be a simple fix for someone in the know!
