Animated videotape-rewind · line-round

Both reels spin up clockwise as the tape rewinds, and the tape between them flutters. They stop with a clunk and a small kick, the tape goes slack, and the take-up reel pulls it taut.

Native SVG animation, with no CSS or script. It loops by itself. Inline it to take the text color: in an <img> it draws black. To play it once on hover or click, run 0.3 s to 2.5 s. Examples and helper.

Each icon is drawn on the 16 px grid, and most also on the 20 and 24 px grids (at 24 in three weights: light 1 px, regular 1.5 px, bold 2 px). Show the drawing made for your size, or an exact multiple of it, on whole pixels: 16 for 16 and 32 px, 20 for 20 and 40, 24 for 24 and 48. A size in between or a fractional position blurs it. The code on each icon page is the 16 px drawing, an SVG with fill="currentColor"; the icon page's downloads follow its Grid switch, and npm has the 20 and 24 px drawings too. The snippets are decorative (aria-hidden). For an icon that carries meaning on its own, such as an icon-only button, label the button, or give the SVG role="img" and an aria-label. More in how to use.

With npm: import { VideotapeIcon } from '@gentleface/react'; (setup).
