Custom Hamburger Menu Icon

Code Toolkit
Written By Squarestylist Support

What You'll Create

The Problem It Solves

The default burger icon doesn't match every brand aesthetic. This technique replaces it with custom graphics that can change when the menu opens.

Perfect For

What Makes This Different

CSS pseudo-elements overlay custom images on the burger container. Separate styles for open and closed states allow different icons for each.
