Apple Intelligence

Imagine you are a graphic designer and your boss tells you, “We need a logo for our new AI product.” Creativity feeds on constraint, and there's little to feed on when the topic is as abstract and versatile as AI. Therefore we are not surprised to find many logos for AI products are merely interesting geometry.

Apple Intelligence's logo is a 7-point star made of Bézier curves. I tried my hand at implementing it in Twoville:

Some months ago I added rcubic nodes, which express the position and control points as relative offsets. For this shape, I wanted the position of each node to be absolute, but the control point math was built out of relative tangent vectors. So, I added mcubic nodes, which expect an absolute position but relative control points. I also added unary negation for vectors.
