Pure CSS logo gradient and shadow

[pieperz]

This is my Code pen http://codepen.io/pieperz/pen/RNgyEB

I am wanting to take this logo and change gradient and add some sort of a shadow.

My question is how can I change the red to a gradient and make it have a shadow behind the logo. Should I refactor or learn LESS im not sure the best direction to head and every thing I try does not work.

Also comments on how to best refactor this or a better way for it to be made in the first place would be much appreciated.

That’s WAY too much HTML just to make a logo.

You’d never get a consistent single gradient over all those disparate elements and even a drop-shadow would be tough because of the way it’s constructed.

You’d be better off using an SVG or a basic image.
