About this icon

Animation

  • progressive simplification of symbols into scattered dots

Animation Summary

Progressive simplification of three symbols (plus, star-like, X) into scattered dots ; each animation shows reduction from solid form to isolated pixels on white background

Composition

  • horizontal alignment

Dense Caption

Three distinct pixel-based animations arranged horizontally. Left animation: starts as a solid black plus sign, then reduces to a smaller plus sign, and finally dissolves into four isolated dots. Middle animation: begins as a solid star-like shape with eight points, shrinks to a single dot, and ends as three scattered dots. Right animation: initiates as a solid X, decreases to a small X, and concludes as five dispersed dots. All animations occur on white background; black pixels only.
