Slingshot Time Reversal: Your Logo Snaps Into Place
Particles first form an oversized, spread-out version of your logo, then snap inward into place with a quick wobble.
What it looks like
- In the first 38% of the cycle, particles fly to an enlarged copy of your logo: each one aims for its own spot, pushed up to 85 pixels further out from the center.
- Then the shape snaps inward to the real logo size.
- The snap overshoots and wobbles: particles swing back and forth around their spots about four times, and the swing shrinks to zero.
- Particles start at half brightness and reach full brightness during the snap.
Good for
- Bold, energetic brands
- Sports, gaming or action-oriented products
- Moments that should feel like an impact, such as a launch or a reveal

| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Suggested color palette | Obsidian Silver. Colorful logos can keep their original colors instead. |
| Particle size | 1.9 px |

| Interaction | Hover pushes particles away; a click sends a shockwave |
Use it on your site
- Open the workbench with Slingshot Time Reversal selected.
- Upload your logo (PNG, SVG, JPG or WebP). You can also drag it onto the page or paste it with Ctrl+V / ⌘+V.
- Adjust particle size, shape and speed, then choose Export Code.
- Pick a format. The HTML file is free; the Vue and React components need Pro.
In the exported code, this effect is selected with:
<!-- Vue 3 (PixelLogoLoader.vue) -->
<PixelLogoLoader variant="gravitational-slingshot" />
// React (PixelLogoLoader.tsx)
<PixelLogoLoader variant="gravitational-slingshot" />
// HTML (index.html)
const variant = 'gravitational-slingshot';
