Brutal Marquee & Ticker Block: The Ultimate Scrolling Announcement Bar

Scrolling text bars are back and they are the hottest way to grab your visitors’ attention. Whether you want to announce a flash sale, display breaking news, or showcase a scrolling list of your clients’ logos, the Brutal Marquee Block is the perfect WordPress ticker for the Gutenberg editor.

Forget about heavy plugins that slow down your site. Our ticker is incredibly lightweight, perfectly inherits your theme’s default colors (so it matches your brand instantly), and seamlessly adapts to any screen size or narrow sidebar without breaking a sweat.

🔥 What makes it brutal?

• Unlimited Items: Add as many announcements, text snippets or icons as you want into a single scrolling bar.
• Total Color Control: Easily customize the background and text colors to make your ticker pop or blend smoothly with your design.
• Insanely Responsive: Just like the rest of the Brutal Blocks family, it automatically recalculates and perfectly adapts to 4K monitors, tiny mobile screens, or tight widgets.

💸 FREE vs. PRO

The Free version gets the job done if you just need a simple, rolling piece of text. But if you want to create an eye-catching, dynamic element that forces users to look, you need the PRO version.

• FREE Version: The basics. You can add a text and change the background and text colors. However, you are locked out of the animation controls, speed settings, and icons.
• PRO Version (Unleash the Beast): The ultimate control panel for your ticker.
  • Zero-Bloat Icons: Inject our lightweight SVG icons directly next to your text items to make them visually striking.
  • Advanced Animations: Unlock premium motion effects like “Ping-Pong” (bouncing back and forth) and “Vertical Scroll”, plus the essential “Pause on Hover” feature so users can easily read your content.
  • Speed & Direction Control: Fine-tune the exact speed (seconds per loop) and choose whether your ticker scrolls to the Left or the Right.
