Props go to Josh Hillier (https://twitter.com/_joshhillier/) and his Pen (http://codepen.io/joshy/details/cojbD). I later converted it to use React Tween State (https://github.com/chenglou/react-tween-state) for animation.

Gadzhi (you may know him as the designer behind Sublime Spacegray theme, http://kkga.me/) helped polish the logo and added the outer animation. It's currently in CSS but I plan to to move it into the component as well.
