1) Paste the following expression in your notebook.
FrontEndExecute[
FrontEnd`HelpBrowserLookup[
"RefGuide",
"Export"
]
]
2) Evaluate the expression you just pasted. This will open the reference
guide entry for Export[] in the Help Browser.
3) Scroll to the end of the entry and locate a cell that reads "Additional
Information."
4) Click on the triangular dingbat at the left of this cell to expose a
sizeable amount of material.
5) Locate the subsection that is headed "GIF".
6) Note the option named "Loop".
This is what you are looking form. Note that this option is a suboption
to the option ConversionOptions.
Export[<file name>, <graphic list>, "GIF",
ConversionOptions -> {"Loop" -> <value>}
]

You can use the Log*Plot[] functions that are defined in the Standard
Package Graphics`Graphics`.
FrontEndExecute[
FrontEnd`HelpBrowserLookup[
"AddOns",
"Graphics`Graphics`"
]
]
