Social media icons are a necessity for every website. They’re instantly recognizable and useful for encouraging users to share your content or to visit your Facebook or Twitter profile.
Yet, these visual assets have become so common that we sometimes leave creativity out of the equation. And while there’s nothing wrong with using a more conventional look, there’s much to be said for standing out.
That’s why we went on a search for unique social media icon implementations. Ones that feature different takes on layout and even the icons themselves. Then there are those that look a bit more mundane – that is, until you interact with them.
In the video, you have seen the Animated Social Media Buttons and I hope you've understood the basic codes behind creating these buttons and their animation effect too. This is a pure CSS program that means I used only HTML & CSS so if you're a beginner then you can also create these types of buttons and effects.
You can add (a href="your site URL here") tag inside each button to redirect the user to your particular preferred social network site/account on button click. You can easily get the source codes of this program. To get the source codes you just need to scroll down. You can use these Social Media Buttons in your HTML pages, websites, and projects.
