Hello,
I want to use a svg animated logo in the header. I can’t figure out how to do it so I was thinking if it was possible from the beginning. here is the code :

HTML :

<svg viewBox="0 0 800 600">
  <symbol id="s-text">
    <text text-anchor="middle"
          x="50%"
          y="35%"
          class="text--line"
          >
      SPEED
    </text>
    <text text-anchor="middle"
          x="50%"
          y="68%"
          class="text--line2"
          >
      TOUCH
    </text>
    
  </symbol>
  
  <g class="g-ants">
    <use xlink:href="#s-text"
      class="text-copy"></use>     
    <use xlink:href="#s-text"
      class="text-copy"></use>     
    <use xlink:href="#s-text"
      class="text-copy"></use>     
    <use xlink:href="#s-text"
      class="text-copy"></use>     
    <use xlink:href="#s-text"
      class="text-copy"></use>     
  </g>
  
  
</svg>

CSS :

HTML, BODY {
  height: 100%;
  }

$colors: #360745, #D61C59, #E7D84B, #EFEAC5, #1B8798;

BODY {
  background: hsl(200,70,11);
  background-size: .12em 100%;
  font: 16em/1 Arial;
}

.text--line {
  font-size: .5em;
  }

svg {
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  }

$max: 5;
$stroke-step: 7%; 
.text-copy {
  fill: none;
  stroke: white;
  stroke-dasharray: $stroke-step $stroke-step * ($max - 1);
  stroke-width: 3px;
  
  animation: stroke-offset 9s infinite linear;
  
  @for $item from 1 through $max {
    $stroke-color: nth($colors, $item);
    
    &:nth-child(#{$item}) {
      stroke: $stroke-color;
      stroke-dashoffset: $stroke-step * $item;
      }
    }
  }

@keyframes stroke-offset {
  50% {
    stroke-dashoffset: $stroke-step * $max;  
    stroke-dasharray: 0 $stroke-step * $max*2.5;
  }
}

Thank a lot

Hey there,

Thanks for writing in! Regretfully this isn’t a feature offered by X. It could be possible with custom development, but this would be outside the scope of support we can offer. You may wish to consult a developer to assist you with this.

Alternatively, you can try and see if there is a plugin that will allow you to use SVG animations. However, the easiest way to achieve an animated logo is either by using a GIF file or using HTML5 and CSS animations.

X is quite extensible with child themes, so there are plenty of possibilities. Thanks for understanding. Take care!

Hello! I have achieved it with only CSS! Thank you!

Glad to hear you’ve figured it out! 🙂 Have a good day.

Hi there belayachimarouane,

I’m also looking to use an animated SVG as my logo. Could you please share how you achieved this?

Thank you!

Hi Denver,

Animated logo was achieved using CSS animation instead of SVG. SVG is not yet supported.

Always,

Cheers
