 font-family: 'WebSymbolsRegular', cursive;
}

 text-align:center;
 border-radius:5px;
 background-color:#BDBDBD;
 box-shadow:inset 0px 0px 50px 2px #848484;
 -webkit-transform:scale(1,1.2);

 transform:scale(1,1.2);

 -webkit-transition: all 200ms linear;
 -ms-transition: all 200ms linear;
 transition: all 200ms linear;
}
li:hover a
{
 font-size:23px;
 color:#424242;
 -webkit-transform: rotate(360deg);
 -ms-transform: rotate(360deg);
 transform: rotate(360deg);

 -webkit-transition: all 200ms linear;
