Low quality ... you mean the way it looks like the people were cut out with scissors and glued onto the header? And the top-left of the keyboard? When ( I'm guessing ) the original in Photoshop looks much smoother? This is because GIF files can only store 256 colors at most. The edges are anti-aliased, but you don't have enough colors to represent this, and the best try looks a bit sloppy. Web developers are always banging their heads into the wall over a similar problem; GIF lets you use completely clear pixels, but if you want them a little opaque, anywhere from 1 to 99 %, GIF won't do that. So, the answer is to use a jpeg or PNG file, then create an animated GIF and use CSS absolute positioning to lay it over the other graphic.
gif format uses a palette of up to 256 distinct colors from the 24-bit RGB color space http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF Code (markup):
