Excellent work. Can you imagine how amazing it would be if there were a tool that allowed us to convert/output all our images as CSS/SVG/etc instead of bitmaps? I, for one, look forward to the day when the only static assets we have to worry about are text-based assets such as CSS and JS.

Perhaps this is a naive question, but are there any benchmarks comparing client-side load times for actual images vs. images rendered in CSS? Server-side bandwidth savings is easier to calculate, and while I realize this kind of savings for sites like Twitter can create noticeable margins, I'm curious as to what the cost-benefit threshold is.
I'm kind of bummed that most of these are thoroughly broken in Opera, and I wonder whether it's the CSS that's broken or whether Presto is rendering them wrong.

But to be fair, the CSS itself should work as soon as the specification is closed and browsers implement it under the regular names, without those prefixes.
edit: Here is the list of attributes supported by Opera http://www.opera.com/docs/specs/presto26/css/o-vendor/ (you can see that transform, the one left out in the first example, is one of them)
And the reason I even ask is I feel like I could draw all of these logos pretty well with Illustrator, but couldn't just sit down in a text editor and make these logos with CSS.
Adobe being first didn't impress me much, Twitter made me curious, and I was extremely impressed by Steve Jobs, Apple, BP and Nike.
