A selection of creative menu patterns and animations that highlight diverse design styles, offering fresh inspiration for your next project.

Sometimes, it’s hard to choose the right menu pattern for a project—there are so many options out there. That’s why I’ve been collecting a few that stood out to me for their creativity and style. This collection isn’t exhaustive, but it showcases a variety of interesting patterns and animations that are great for inspiration.
