I like these, but I think some of them are too slow. If my cursor passes over them on the way to a different destination, they'll begin animation, and then reverse as soon as the cursor goes over. It'll just be barely a hint of movement, whereas normal links change color instantly. I think as soon as your cursor touches a link, you should think "this is a thing" instead of "I think something just happened". An example is that blue one that starts with "umbrella".

How would that be different than replacing img1 with img2 on hover?

Just curious. Mostly I'm indifferent to these kinds of posts because CSS is getting more complicated faster than I can learn it (it seems but it might just be me).

Well it doesn't have to be instant, but fast enough where you can't reset the animation before something significant changes.

That's what "cursor:pointer" is for which is active for all of theese.
