Google symbol design using HTML and CSS tutorial using VSCode

CSS is a style sheet language which can help you to style your own webpage. We are all familiar with the various social media platforms like Google, Youtube and Facebook and have you wondered how they create them in CSS.

In this article we will see how to program in CSS to create a Google Symbol.

The most important properties that we use to create the heart element are:

Position is a common property which helps us to specify the type of positioning method used for an element.

Background is also a common property which is used to specify the background of an element.

Transform very useful property which applies a 2D or 3D transformation to an element. This property allows you to rotate, scale, move and skew elements.

Here is the CSS class for implementing it.
