how the heck do I keep Animated* signatures under 70kb? using Photoshop

example:

this is only 16 frames...
I have made signatures with 15 frames and have had them under 70Kb
Well known Sig makers how do you accomplish this?

Smoke is hard to do under 70kbs.
Dark/less colors possible (or try to blend but dont put much colors.
Cut layers.. 16 is Huge seriously for this size movement :)
Reduce size. reduce quality..but its not what you wanna hear x) so cut layers/frame ..

Yeah that's what I feared.
and apparently FOG is like the heavy hitter when it comes to file size.
I need to learn how to make my own fog loop I would make it like 5 frames or something...
The one I am showing here was made by someone else *just the fog* it was a 60 frame sequence that I cut to 16... and its still HUGE

Some tips before you close thread.

1. try and delete every other frame and see if the flow is still good. If you can get it down to 3-5 frames would be ideal
2. use De-saturation tools to get rid of all colors except a few you are working with
3. try to avoid blurs over sharp edges
4. if you are close to keeping full quality maybe reduce the overall aspect ratio down from 400x150 to (play with it so you dont have to make it to small)

Also reduce the size of sig ( you may not like it) but reducing size to even 380 x 145 can shed 25kb easy
