In this article, I will solve a Web Maker Logo CSS Challenge on CSS Battle. Let's look at the problem first.
Problem
We need to create the following container by using CSS Properties only:
Solution
So now look at the Solution and how we are going to achieve this.
HTML
<div wl><p l></div>
<div wr><p r>
-
<div wl>
: wrapper for left polygon -
<div wr>
: wrapper for right polygon -
<p l>
: Left polygon -
<p r>
: Right polygon
CSS
Now let's style the containers.
body {
margin: 0;
background: #f2f2b6;
display: grid;
place-items: center;
}
p {
position: fixed;
width: 150;
height: 130;
clip-path: polygon(100% 0, 0 0, 50% 100%);
}
[wl] {
filter: drop-shadow(20px 0 #fd4602);
}
[l] {
background: #ff6d00;
left: -140;
top: -6;
}
[wr] {
filter: drop-shadow(20px 0 #ff6d00);
}
[r] {
background: #fd4602;
transform: scaleY(-1);
bottom: -6;
left: -30;
}
I am using a wrapper because we cannot add box-shadow
to the clip-path
. However, If you wrap the clip-path
in some div
and then apply the drop-shadow
then it works. That's what I did here.
Note: In CSS Battle you can use
100
instead of100px
. You don't need to definepx
in CSS. However, if you are usingrem
or%
, you need to pass them separately. That's why in the above CSS code there are no units mostly. For more info visit hereMinify the code or CSS by using any CSS Minifier. It helps you to reduce the characters in the code which will increase the score.
Minified Version:
<div wl><p l></div><div wr><p r><style>body{margin:0;background:#F2F2B6;display:grid;place-items:center}p{position:fixed;width:150;height:130;clip-path:polygon(100% 0,0 0,50% 100%)}[wl]{filter:drop-shadow(20px 0 #FD4602)}[l]{left:-140;top:-6;background:#FF6D00}[wr]{filter:drop-shadow(20px 0 #FF6D00)}[r]{background:#FD4602;bottom:-6;left:-30;transform:scaleY(-1)}

using
border
is also impressive. Keep it up.Your explanation of the use of
box-shadow
andclip-path
was very useful. It wasn't an easy challenge for me. Here is my solution ;)
