Cyan pixelated snowflake icons appear at various positions: one near the top-left, one below it, one to the right of the first line, and additional ones scattered throughout the lower sections. The text is rendered with a retro digital font style typical of early internet graphics. Snowflakes are consistently cyan-colored and have a simple four-pointed star shape.
