Dense Caption

"ASHTIN" appears three times horizontally at top and bottom against solid blue background. Each instance uses white pixelated font enclosed in double quotes. Small white stars (some with trailing dots) are scattered around text: four near top corners, two on left edge, one center-left, one center-right, one right edge, and five below the lower "ASHTIN" row. Stars alternate between solid white and light blue variants. All elements maintain fixed positions; no visible motion or animation changes.
