Internet Explorer Pure CSS Logo

When I stumbled over David Desandro’s Opera CSS Logo and Zander Martineau’s Pure CSS Icons, I really liked their idea to create “art” only with CSS.

So here is my work, the All CSS Internet Explorer Logo, a logo built completely in CSS, without any graphics.

See the Demo (best viewed with Firefox 3.6 & Safari 5)
Chrome 5 has a lot of issues at the moment due to an older Webkit engine. CSS for Opera 10.6 and IE9 are coming soon. The CSS is a mess at the moment, I’ll clean it up later.

    This is AWESOME. Love the way you’re piling on the box-shadows. And the way you pulled off the ring is killer. Do submit this to awesomebutuseless.com once the WebKit version is finished.

    Wow – surely took some work…

    On Ubuntu FF 3.6.3 this renders as in your FF Screenshot, but if you move another window over the browser, there are artifacts remaining within the rendered ie logo…
