We’ll create two animated circular spinners using reusable HTML and CSS. Each spinner features rotating rings with glowing orbs in the center, giving an illusion of perpetual motion. The second spinner is styled using an alternate theme to show how easily the design can be adapted.

<div class="spinner-box">
  <div class="spin-ring ring-one"><span></span></div>
  <div class="spin-ring ring-two"><span></span></div>
  <div class="spin-ring ring-three"><i></i></div>
  <div class="spin-ring ring-four"><i></i></div>
</div>

<div class="spinner-box theme-alt">
  <div class="spin-ring ring-one"><span></span></div>
  <div class="spin-ring ring-two"><span></span></div>
  <div class="spin-ring ring-three"><i></i></div>
  <div class="spin-ring ring-four"><i></i></div>
</div>

Each .spinner-box acts as a container for four spinning elements:

• .ring-one and .ring-two: Have gradient-filled left halves.
• .ring-three and .ring-four: Feature glowing dots using &lt;i&gt; elements for a futuristic visual.
• The second .spinner-box uses the class theme-alt to apply a different color palette.

body {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  min-height: 100vh;
  background: #0a0a0a;
  flex-direction: column;
  gap: 40px;
}
