```text
Build a 6-second animated intro for my YouTube channel as one web page that plays by itself in the preview.

Channel: [CHANNEL NAME, e.g. The Money Minute]. Tagline: [YOUR TAGLINE, e.g. Money tips for busy parents]. Topic: [YOUR NICHE, e.g. family budgeting]. Host: [YOUR NAME, e.g. Dana Reyes].

Make it feel [CHANNEL VIBE, e.g. bright, friendly and quick]. Start with a small animated symbol made from simple shapes that fits my topic. Have it transform into my channel name, then reveal the tagline underneath. Give it one satisfying final pop and land on a clean title card.

Colors: [BRAND COLORS, e.g. mint and deep purple]. One bold font. 16:9, text inside safe margins, no sound. Start on one blank second, hold the title card for 1 second, and add a Replay button below the frame. After you build it, suggest two other style directions I could try.
