In this blog, we’ll dive into creating a visually appealing marquee logo carousel using the react-fast-marquee library in a React application.
A marquee carousel is a great way to display a continuous, smooth-scrolling list of logos, often used on websites to showcase partners or sponsors.
Setting Up Your React Project
To get started, we need a React project. For this tutorial, we’ll use Vite as our React scaffolding tool because it provides a fast development environment.
Create a new Vite project:
npm create vite@latest marquee-logo-carousel --template react
cd marquee-logo-carousel
npm installInstall the react-fast-marquee library:
npm i react-fast-marqueeInstall styled-components for easy styling:
npm i styled-componentsProject Structure
Organize your project as follows:
marquee-logo-carousel/
|-- src/
| |-- components/
| | |-- LogoCarousel.jsx
| |-- images/
| | |-- (your logo images here)
| |-- App.jsx
|-- public/
|-- index.htmlCreating the Logo Carousel Component
In src/components/LogoCarousel.jsx, we will define our marquee carousel component.

);
};
export default LogoCarousel;Integrating the Carousel into Your App
In src/App.jsx, we’ll import and use the LogoCarousel component.
App.jsx
;import LogoCarousel from "./components/LogoCarousel";
function App() {
return (
<>
<h1
style={{
textAlign: "center",
marginBottom: "100px",
marginTop: "50px",
}}
>
Marquee Logo Carousel
</h1>
<LogoCarousel />
</>
);
}
export default App;Styling the Carousel
We’ve used styled-components to handle the styling directly within the component. The key styles are:
MainWrapper: A section that wraps the whole marquee area.
LogoStrip: A flex container that holds all the logos in a horizontal row.
LogoWrapper: A container for each logo, allowing for uniform spacing and sizing.
LogoImg: Ensures each logo fits nicely within its container.
Output:
Customizing the Carousel
The react-fast-marquee component offers several props for customization:
- direction: Sets the scroll direction (left or right).
- speed: Controls the scroll speed.
- gradient: Adds a fading gradient to the edges.
- pauseOnHover and pauseOnClick: Pauses the scroll when the user hovers over or clicks on the carousel.
Conclusion
With just a few lines of code and the react-fast-marquee library, we’ve created a dynamic and stylish marquee logo carousel. This component is easy to customize and integrate into any React project. Happy coding!
