The Manim Academy monogram, built as a single letterform silhouette extruded into a solid: a white face over a gray body, with a keyline so the folds read as corners. The scene stacks flat polygons rather than using a 3D camera, so it stays crisp at any resolution. A companion scene wraps the same solid in a surface grid, and another spins the face around the body on a loop.
