I've been mulling over these kind of animated icons after seeing the little weather icons on http://forcast.io http://forcast.io.
Seems like it would be extra neat to make this a webfont somehow (swapping out 'frames' of font-data under the font name alias). However pretty unnecessary, considering the LiveIcon perks of using data attributes to specify loops, etc.
- solistice 13y agoThe usage of these kinds of icons on forcast.io is brilliant though. I want to see the weather, it moves a little. I mean the only problem with animated icons/buttons like this is that if they get back in style, it essentially opens pandorras box. They make good web design better if used sparingly, yes, but they'll also make bad web design worse. A lot worse. Spinning visual tumor worse.
