I found it - the scale should be 1.3 not 1:3, my fault for only listening and not watching i think!

I stand to be corrected, but I have observed that Guil in the video obmitted to included center in his transform-origin code for the icon to rotate and evenly scale from its center point.

.gear-icon { transition: transform .4s ease-out; transform-origin: center 50px 50px; }
