Four identical spiral patterns arranged in a 2x2 grid. Each spiral consists of alternating blue and black concentric rings forming a clockwise spiral.

The spirals are uniform in size and spacing, with no visible differences between the four instances. The image has a low-resolution, pixelated appearance typical of early digital graphics.
