He is not in the center of QWidget, it always is at the top left side.

You need to layout the label in the parent widget:

@
void MyWidget::AnimatedLogo(QString logotype)
{
QMovie *MyLogoMovie = new QMovie(logotype);
MyLogoLabel = new QLabel();
MyLogoLabel ->setMovie(MyLogoMovie);
MyLogoMovie->start();
MyLogoLabel->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);
// MyLogoLabel >show(); //this is redundant

QVBoxLayout* layout = new QVBoxLayout();
layout->addWidget(MyLogoLabel);
setLayout(layout);

}

Btw. identifier names starting with capital letter are usually used for class names not variables.
