Animated Logo on Scroll

What You'll Create

A logo that starts large and centered on the homepage, then animates to its normal header position as visitors scroll. Creates a dramatic, cinematic entrance before settling into standard navigation.

The Problem It Solves

Static headers miss opportunities for brand impact. This technique lets the logo dominate the initial viewport for maximum brand presence, then smoothly transitions to the header as visitors begin exploring - memorable first impressions that don't sacrifice usability.

Perfect For

Brand-focused homepages, Portfolio hero sections, Agency sites, Product launches, Any site prioritizing brand identity.

What Makes This Different

CSS positions the logo absolutely at viewport center initially. A JavaScript scroll listener adds a 'shrink' class when scrolling begins. CSS transitions animate the logo's position, size, and alignment smoothly from centered hero to header placement. SVG overlay ensures crisp rendering at any size.
