Responsive Concentric Circles...need help!

I'm working on this simple design in codepen, and I need a bit of help making it more responsive. The design is two concentric circles centered horizontally in a full-width "banner". The circles shrink when you make the browser shorter, but not when you make it more narrow. Any advice on what I may be doing wrong or another way to do it would be a ton of help!

Hi Michael,

i don't know if its right, but maybe you have to use @media.

example:

@media screen and (min width: 480 px){ .circle-box { width: 40vh; height: 40vh; margin: 0 auto; } }

@media screen and (min width: 300 px){ .circle-box { width: 30vh; height: 30vh; margin: 0 auto; } }

I think I could get a result that way, but it would clog up my media queries and I can't help but feel like there's a simpler way. Thanks for the input though, I'll mess around with that!
