First, we need to create the structure for this logo then we will style that structure.

HTML



<div class="wrapper">
  <div class="red"></div>
  <div class="yellow"></div>
  <div class="green"></div>
  <div class="blue"></div>
</div>


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

CSS

Let's first style the .wrapper and it's making it's all child absolute:



.wrapper {
  display: grid;
  place-items: center;
  position: relative;
}

.wrapper > *{
  position: absolute;
}


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Styling .blue strip:



.blue {
  width: 140px;
  height: 80px;
  background: #297aec;
  transform: rotate(-60deg) translate(-35px, -70px);
  border-radius: 50px 25px 25px 0;
}


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

blue

Now, Styling .green strip:



.green {
  width: 170px;
  height: 80px;
  background: #2da94f;
  transform: rotate(-60deg) translate(10px, -30px);
  border-radius: 0 50px 0 25px;
}


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

green

Now, Styling .yellow strip:



.yellow {
  width: 170px;
  height: 80px;
  background: #297aec;
  transform: rotate(-60deg) translate(-20px, 9px);
  border-radius: 0 25px 25px 50px;
  position: relative;
}

.yellow::before{
  position: absolute;
  content: "";
  inset:0;
  background: #fdbd00;
  border-radius: 50px 25px 25px 50px;
}


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

yellow

Final strip is .red:



.red {
  width: 140px;
  height: 80px;
  background: #2da94f;
  transform: rotate(-60deg) translate(18%, 49px);
  border-radius: 0 0 50px 25px;
}

.red::before{
  position: absolute;
  content: "";
  inset: 0;
  background: #ea4335;
  border-radius: 0 50px 50px 25px;
}


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

It's now done.

Codepen

You can see the codepen below:

Alternative Solution

The above solution works fine but it has a lot of repetitive code. So try the following one:

HTML



<div class="wrapper">
  <div class="red"></div>
  <div class="yellow"></div>
  <div class="green"></div>
  <div class="blue"></div>
</div>


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

HTML is the same as the previous one.

CSS



.wrapper {
display: grid;
place-items: center;
}

.wrapper > * {
position: absolute;
height: 80px;
}

.wrapper > *::before {
position: absolute;
content: "";
inset: 0;
}

.blue, .red {
width: 140px;
background: #297aec;
transform: rotate(-60deg) translate(-35px, -70px);
border-radius: 50px 25px 25px 0;
}

.red {
background: #2da94f;
transform: rotate(-60deg) translate(35px, 49px);
border-radius: 0 0 50px 25px;
}

.red::before {
background: #ea4335;
border-radius: 0 50px 50px 25px;
}

.green, .yellow {
width: 170px;
background: #2da94f;
transform: scaleX(-1) rotate(60deg) translate(-20px, -30px);
border-radius: 50px 25px 25px 0;
}

.yellow {
background: #297aec;
transform: scale(-1) rotate(-240deg) translate(-20px, 9px);
border-radius: 0 25px 25px 40px;
position: relative;
}

.yellow::before {
background: #fdbd00;
border-radius: 50px 25px 25px 50px;
}

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
