Experimental: Pure CSS social media icons →
- June 1 -
Nicholas Gallagher: > This is an experiment that creates [social media icons](http://nicolasgallagher.com/experimental-pure-css-social-media-icons/) using CSS and semantic HTML. It uses progressive enhancement to turn an unordered list of text links into a set of icons without the use of images or JavaScript. It bears repeating that the point of experiments like this isn’t to replace logos with CSS, but to show that fairly complex designs _can_ be made in CSS - and you’ll need that sooner or later. A similar, and more useful, demo: [CSS speech bubbles](http://nicolasgallagher.com/progressive-enhancement-pure-css-speech-bubbles/).
