Circle with text inside a square

A square frame, with its straight edges, makes a great background for a circle that represents creativity and togetherness. The circle sits nicely in the center of the square, catching the eye. Inside the circle, you can add text that invites people to read the message.

Syntax

<element class="rounded-lg overflow-hidden 
        text-center relative">
    <element class="rounded-full inline-flex 
        items-center justify-center">
        ...
    </element>
</element>

Example 1: In this example, the outer div is used to create the outer rounded square, which contains the circle. rounded-full class is used to create a circle out of the inner div.

Circle around a character

The circle helps the character stand out and makes you notice them. It creates a safe space around them, showing they’re important. The circle can mean different things, like safety or adventure.

Syntax:

<element class="flex items-center justify-center rounded-full">
    <element>...</element>
</element>

Example : Here, the approach is to use a flexbox to center the text inside the circle. In this example, we have used flex to create a circle around a character.

Circle around a word

Imagine a word inside a circle. The circle draws your eye to the word, making it stand out. It can show that the word is important or special. This simple design makes it easy to focus on what the word means.

Syntax:

<element class="inline-block text-center rounded-full">
         <element>...</element>
</element>

Example : In this example, we have created a circle with the word "GeeksforGeeks" inside it using the border-radius utility.
