Twitter SVG Logo

Full Screen

Using Upperdog Interactive’s CSS Twitter logo as reference, and I wrote some circle-circle intersection code (a.k.a. math) to specify the Twitter logo as sequence of elliptical arc segments. There are other versions of the Twitter logo in SVG, but as best I can tell, they use cubic Béziers. I found it mathematically unsettling to use Béziers when circular arcs would suffice.
