About this icon

Animation

icon variations change : left transitions from '+', '.', '...' to '<3'; middle changes from '+', '.', 'x' to empty; right shifts from 'x', ':', '.' to '<3'

Animation Summary

The icon set cycles through three of symbols beneath repeating text, with each 's symbol changing : left transitions from '+' to '.', then '...', middle shifts from '+' to '.' to empty, right changes from 'x' to ':' to '<3'

Composition

  • three
  • repeating
  • text above and below icons

Dense Caption

Black background displays repeating light purple pixelated text "normal.." above and below three columns of content. Each column contains the phrase "is nothing." in matching light purple pixels. Below each phrase are three distinct icon variations: first row shows a pink '<3' symbol with white '+' (left), '+', 'x' symbols (middle), and 'x' symbol (right); second row shows '<3' with white '+' (left), '.' (middle), ':' (right); third row shows '<3' with white dots (left), no symbol (middle), and '<3' alone (right). The icons change across rows: left column transitions from '+', '.', '...' to a single '<3'; middle column changes from '+', '.', 'x' to empty; right column shifts from 'x', ':', '.' to '<3'.
