Page turn - but not a page turn

Hey there, I have attached a screen cap of what I am working on, I have blurred out the artist and names as it is not a completed project, anyways, I have those colored boxes moving around as different musical artists appear on-screen and at the end I want to do a camera zoom and bring a couple of boxes into the middle and rotate around the y-axis to reveal the logo of what the project is for, but I want about 4 or 5 of the boxes to do the reveal, as if it was revealing a different comp, and as the boxes are moving around they would reveal a different part of the logo so its just not one static image attached to the back of each box as it would be in a page turn, I also do not want the edge curl as it would in the cc page turn, I want some transparency to it, I have not described what I want to achieve all that well, but if anyone has any ideas that would be great, again check out my screen cap for a better understanding.
Thanks

lol just use transition dissolves in animation presets. use animation browse presets to view all the work AE already had done, like...transition movement card wipe 3-D pixelstorm.
fiddle with the presets.

Have you investigated the Card Wipe or Card Dance effects?

well the card wipe only works if i want to rotate one box and reveal a whole image, i want to have say 4 boxes flip on the y-axis to reveal the logo but the boxes will still be moving so they arent revealing the whole logo they will move and reveal different parts of the logo, is there a way to set the back side of a card flip to an alpha channel so it is opaque and reveal the layer beneath?!?
