Drawing the New York Hardcore Logo with D3.js


The JavaScript code below shows how you can draw the New York Hardcore (NYHC) logo with D3.js using SVG rect and SVG text elements.

JavaScript Code

const w = 600,
    h = 600,
    h_rect = 30,
    l_cath = h_rect / 2,
    offset = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(l_cath, 2) + Math.pow(l_cath, 2)),
    fg = '#ffffff',
    bg = '#000000',
    svg = d3.select('#canvas').append('svg')
        .attr('width', w)
        .attr('height', h);

function textStyle(text) {
    text.attr('text-anchor', 'middle')
        .attr('font-family', 'sans')
        .attr('font-size', '220px')
        .attr('font-weight', 600)
        .attr('fill', fg);
}

svg.append('rect')
    .attr('x', 0)
    .attr('y', 0)
    .attr('width', w)
    .attr('height', h)
    .style('fill', bg)
    .style('opacity', 1)

svg.append('rect')
    .attr('x', 0)
    .attr('y', 0)
    .attr('width', Math.sqrt(Math.pow(w - offset, 2) + Math.pow(h - offset, 2)))
    .attr('height', h_rect)
    .style('fill', fg)
    .attr('transform', 'translate(' + offset + ',0)rotate(45)');

svg.append('rect')
    .attr('x', 0)
    .attr('y', 0)
    .attr('width', Math.sqrt(Math.pow(w - offset, 2) + Math.pow(h - offset, 2)))
    .attr('height', h_rect)
    .style('fill', fg)
    .attr('transform', 'translate(0,' + (h - offset) + ')rotate(-45)');

svg.append('text')
    .attr('x', w / 2)
    .attr('y', 165)
    .text('N')
    .call(textStyle);

svg.append('text')
    .attr('x', w / 2)
    .attr('y', 596)
    .text('Y')
    .call(textStyle);

svg.append('text')
    .attr('x', 75)
    .attr('y', 380)
    .text('H')
    .call(textStyle);

svg.append('text')
    .attr('x', 525)
    .attr('y', 380)
    .text('C')
    .call(textStyle);
