Rollover social icons

Social icons in a site or blog holds a important place in turning the visitors to followers and adding hover effects to those icons increase the chance. So we are going to see a cool hover effect that can be used with social icons to perform the assigned job. The above social media rollover hover effect requires a special image in which two images should be spliced in a vertical manner.

Spliced Social icons

We are going to use similar vertically spliced images in this hover effect. The above image was formed by means of two images vertically spliced in order to perform a rollover effect when the image is hovered. 

CSS CODE:

.roll_over{
        height: 48px;
        width: 48px;
        margin: 5px;
        float: left;
        -webkit-transition: all ease 0.5s;
        -moz-transition: all ease 0.5s;
        -o-transition: all ease 0.5s;
        -ms-transition: all ease 0.5s;
        transition: all ease 0.5s;
               }
.roll_over:hover {
                  background-position: 0px -48px;
                            }
.facebook{
         background-image:url('Your image URL');
                }
.twitter{
        background-image:url('Your image URL');
            }
.google_plus{
                  background-image:url('Your Image URL');
                      }
.linkedin{
         background-image:url('Your Image URL');
               }
.pinterest{
        background-image:url('Your Image URL');
               }

HTML CODE:In the above code class “roll_over” was used to assign the height and width of the background image used. And when the image is hovered the height was assigned by means of negative value to display the next image hiding. Other classes “.facebook”, “.twitter” … “.pinterest” was used to assign the URL of the image used for the effect.

HTML CODE:

<a class="facebook roll_over" href="Social Profile URL"></a>
<a class="twitter roll_over" href="Social Profile URL"></a>
<a class="google_plus roll_over" href="Social Profile URL"></a>
<a class="linkedin roll_over" href="Social Profile URL"></a>
<a class="pinterest roll_over" href="Social Profile URL"></a>

The HTML part was pretty straightforward, here the class “.roll over” & “.facebook” used in a single <div> container to use the properties of both the classes.The working demo & spliced images was added for your usage and you can get it here
