Welcome to CSSBattle Challenges!
In this short article, I go through my solution for CSSBattle - #16 Eye of the Tiger challenge. Please refer to the code snippet below to get a better insight into my thought processes and the implementation detail.
Challenge:
Solution:
<div class="container mostly-black-bg">
<div class="outer-layer center-x-y">
<div class="circle outer center-x-y mostly-black-bg">
<div class="circle middle center-x-y">
<div class="circle mini mostly-black-bg"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<style>
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.container {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: relative;
}
.mostly-black-bg {
background: #0B2429
}
.center-x-y {
display: grid;
place-items: center;
}
.circle {
border-radius: 50%;
}
.outer-layer {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%) rotate(-45deg);
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background: #998235;
border-top-right-radius: 100px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 100px;
}
.outer {
width: 180px;
height: 180px;
}
.middle {
width: 140px;
height: 140px;
background: #F3AC3C;
}
.mini {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
}
</style>
Key Takeaway(s):
- use utility classes for shared, reusable CSS properties
- use display
gridto center elements vertically and horizontally
As always, I welcome any feedback or questions regarding the implementation detail of the challenge. Otherwise, I hope this was useful!

I was able to do it in 262 characters (229 minimized) with a single div element. I have no idea how some people did it in 139!
body{
margin: 0;
background: #0B2429;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
div {
width: 200px;
aspect-ratio: 1;
background: #998235;
transform: rotate(45deg);
border-radius: 50% 0 50% 0;
}
div:before{
content: "";
position: fixed;
top: 30px;
left: 30px;
width: 50px;
aspect-ratio: 1;
border-radius: 50%;
background: #0B2429;
border: 45px solid #F3AC3C;
outline: 20px solid #0B2429;
}
