New CSS Logo

I created a modern CSS Logo design, and proposed it to the CSS-Next community group, a part of the W3C.

The design includes many hat tips to CSS and web design:

• Subtle rounded corners, making the logo resemble a tooltip / eye dropper / popup element.
• Uses a known web color, hotpink. The color choice represents a color from the JS logo tetradic scale. Pink is also often related to makeup 💅, and CSS is the makeup of the web!
• The CSS version of the logo uses modern CSS features, like font-variant and @container queries.

It also meets the following criteria:

• Works well without color, in white and black.
• Works with and without a version number (contains enough space to fit one).
• It’s legible and recognizable, in small and large sizes.
• It’s recognizable by color and shape, even if the text is too small (e.g. 12px and below).
• It can be represented in both SVG and CSS-only formats.
• It works well with existing community logos (JS, WebAssembly, etc) and brands (like Typescript).
