CSS Spinning Spinners

This is a collection of loading spinners animated by CSS only.

Each spinner is applied to elements with a class of loading by utilizing the :before pseudo-element.

The aim of this project was to create a set of minimal loading spinners that are visually appealing and also convey their intended meaning.

A strict limit of no additional elements was placed on this project based on the belief that something as simple as a loader shouldn't need more.

Each loader is given a font size of 10px and all other sizes are in ems. To change the size of a loader, just adjust the font-size.

Usage

Load the stylesheet of the spinner you want into the head of your page:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/css-spinning-spinners/1.1.0/load2.css" />

Apply the class loading to any element within the body of your page:

<div class="loading"></div>

Or when doing an AJAX request in jQuery:

$('el').addClass('loading').load('someurl.ext', function() {
	$(this).removeClass('loading');
});

 

To change the size of the spinner set the font-size in your stylesheet:

.loading:before { font-size: 20px; }
