Wow! That logo and animation has scaringly close resemblance to the one on https://digital.scotch.io

I don't find them to be at all similar aside from the larger concept of having "large pixels convene to form pixelized text", which I'm sure has been done plenty of times before.

The text is different. The color is different. The animation is different. The code is different. It's a unique implementation.

Love the logo! Did something similar here [1] for our blog's creative/digital arm [2] with actually a somewhat similar approach. Probably a few months ago. Their's is a little more elegant though :) I just want to make a quick comment: Everything the Stripe's front-end guys touch is pure and magical perfection. They definitely have a killer front-end team - design, UI/UX, and more. [1] http://codepen.io/ncerminara/pe…

Glad you noticed the easter-egg on the logo :p

Had no idea you could animate SVG coordinates.

Edit: Or at least I think that's how it works...

On the subject of the jquery.payment lib, I remember noticing that the validation functions it provides for various credit cards are not exactly the same as the ones in stripe.js, and actually better. I would have to look at my commit history to remember what exactly were the differences though. I think it could match the various credit card types with fewer digits entered or was better for cvv validation of amex car…

I get the impression that stripe has abandoned jquery.payment (or at least it's a side project and not part of their core offering?). Because it does not actually work out of the box with the stripe.js library (see https://github.com/stripe/jquery.payment/issues/160 , which has a lot of "+1's" from other people but no response from stripe or whoever it is that maintains this library).

It's definitely not abandoned! We're using it in Stripe Checkout, we're aware that it needs some love, and we've got plans to that effect. Stay tuned!

Usually it feels like companies open source projects are kind of lame or just to look fashionable. These projects are extensive and awesome. I love the personal projects section at the bottom of the page. You can see why Stripe is so successful. They truly have a dev culture and that's a lot more than most companies that just say they have a dev culture. At Stripes scale and size that's a big success.

I don't understand this. You think Netflix and Facebook's Open source projects are lame?

Whoah, I didn't notice that Netflix and Facebook became the only tech companies on Earth.
