How to create Olympics logo using HTML and CSS?
The given task in this article is to create an Olympics logo using only HTML and CSS.
The "Olympic logo" consists of five interlocked circles with five different colors: blue, black, red, yellow, and green. These five colored rings represent the five inhabited continents of the world Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania.
Approach
Setting up the Logo Container We start by creating a
<div>element with the class nameolympic-logo. This serves as the container for the Olympic symbol. We set its width, height, background color, position, and margin to achieve the desired layout.Creating Individual Circles Inside the logo container, we create five
<div>elements with the class namecircle. Each element represents one of the Olympic rings. We define their width, height, andborder-radiusto make them appear as perfect circles.Intertwining the Circles To intertwine the rings, we use additional
<div>elements with the class namechain. These elements act as patches connecting the rings using CSS positioning and borders.Positioning and Colors We use CSS positioning properties like
position: absoluteto precisely position the circles and apply appropriate border colors for each ring.
Example
The following example creates the Olympic symbol using HTML and CSS
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Olympic Symbol using HTML and CSS</title>
<style>
/* Logo container */
.olympic-logo {
width: 380px;
height: 175px;
background-color: white;
position: relative;
margin: 50px auto;
padding: 20px;
}
/* Individual circles */
.circle {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
border-radius: 50%;
position: absolute;
border-width: 10px;
border-style: solid;
}
/* Top row circles */
.blue {
border-color: #0081c8;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
.black {
border-color: #000000;
top: 0;
left: 130px;
}
.red {
border-color: #ee334e;
top: 0;
left: 260px;
}
/* Bottom row circles */
.yellow {
border-color: #fcb131;
top: 55px;
left: 65px;
}
.green {
border-color: #00a651;
top: 55px;
left: 195px;
}
/* Intertwining patches */
.chain {
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
position: absolute;
overflow: hidden;
border-color: transparent;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 50px 0 50px 100px;
}
.chain:before {
content: "";
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
position: absolute;
top: -50px;
left: -99.9px;
border: 10px solid;
border-radius: 50%;
}
.patch1:before {
border-color: #0081c8;
}
.patch2 {
left: 130px;
}
.patch3 {
left: 130px;
transform: rotate(100deg);
}
.patch4 {
left: 260px;
transform: rotate(100deg);
}
.patch4:before {
border-color: #ee334e;
}
.patch5:before {
border-color: #00a651;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="olympic-logo">
<!-- Five Olympic rings -->
<div class="circle blue"></div>
<div class="circle black"></div>
<div class="circle red"></div>
<div class="circle yellow"></div>
<div class="circle green"></div>
<!-- Intertwining patches -->
<div class="chain patch1"></div>
<div class="chain patch2"></div>
<div class="chain patch3"></div>
<div class="chain patch4"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The Olympic logo appears with five interlocked rings - blue, black, and red in the top row, and yellow and green in the bottom row, creating the iconic Olympic symbol.
Conclusion
Creating the Olympic logo with CSS demonstrates advanced positioning techniques and creative use of borders and pseudo-elements. The interlocking effect is achieved through strategic positioning and layering of circular elements with connecting patches.
