Abstract Iconography & Brand Transformation

Adapt it.

Replace initial 'Grammarly G' icon with 'TaskMaster' icon SVG.
Update `RadialIconBurst` primitive with new AI feature icons (e.g., calendar, chart, brain).
Customize `MorphingIconExtrusion` to transition from feature icons to 'NexusFlow' icon SVG.
Change `TextWipeReveal` content to 'NEXUSFLOW' and adjust font if necessary.
Maintain existing background gradient and glow filter settings for consistency.

Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the ai-rebrand-morph-reveal template.

RadialIconBurst

Multiple small icons emerge from a central point and arrange themselves in an arc, then quickly retract and converge back towards the center.

+ Code construction recipe

Use `interpolate` for position and opacity, `spring` for a bouncy feel on initial burst. Animate SVG paths for icon shapes and use `map` to distribute icons radially around a central point.

MorphingIconExtrusion

A 2D icon smoothly transforms its shape while simultaneously gaining a subtle 3D extruded depth, accompanied by a soft glow.

+ Code construction recipe

Leverage `interpolate` for SVG path data transitions. Apply a `filter` for the glow effect and use `transform` (scale, skew) combined with `z-index` or pseudo-elements for the illusion of 3D extrusion.

TextWipeReveal

Text appears on screen with a fast, clean horizontal wipe effect, revealing characters from left to right.

+ Code construction recipe

Utilize `interpolate` on `clipPath` or `maskImage` properties to reveal text. Can also be achieved by animating `transform` (translateX) on individual characters or words with a staggered delay.
