It takes a highly capable mind to do what Brian has done. Recreating even the simplest of logos isn't an easy task when you're talking about positioned DIV's, clipping masks, border colours and radius's all intricately stacked to recreate something that was designed in an image manipulation program.
Yes, you would never use a CSS recreation in production and Brian isn't. What we have here is a smart developer experimenting, thinking outside-of-the-box and pushing the boundaries beyond changing colours and font sizes using CSS. We need developers like Brian trying things like this, if we didn't, we would all still be using tables to create websites...
The reason I called your comment out as negative is because you never said anything positive. Mostly everyone else (including myself) praised Brian for his clever experimentation and there was no praise or respect in your comment whatsoever. I'm not meaning to sound aggressive, I've just seen too many put-downs on neutral and positive submissions lately to not want to say something.
- meerita 13y agoI don't think the OP is negative. And I also think waste time doing this when you can, ofc, do one image with a table and zillions of colored cells. To me, the time and pain isn't worth the application. OP is right: you can do this effortlessly with SVG, and it will probably be more semantic than this, wich, ofc has glitches between devices and isn't fully supported on all cases. SVG has more support than CSS3 and this only shows a bored developer using CSS. I opined the same days ago with a MB Pro made entirely in CSS. It's quite ok but I think we can put effort on SVG instead of CSS to do the right things. Don't take this as an offense.
