Build an intro around Codrops' Circular Text Effect (demo https://tympanus.net/Development/CircularTextEffect/, article https://tympanus.net/codrops/?p=53487, code https://github.com/codrops/CircularTextEffect, MIT): several SVG text rings on circular paths scale in from 0.3 with an expo ease and then rotate in staggered steps around a centre mark. Put my logo or a short word where the Enter button is and set the ring texts to words from the brief. The start and hover animations are GSAP tweens in src/js/demo1/intro.js; collect them in one paused timeline (scale-in, then rotate: "+=180" steps on the beat) and seek it from the frame (HyperFrames: window.__timelines; Remotion: tl.seek(frame / fps)). Works square or vertical; let the outer rings bleed off the frame.
