Black background with a single pixelated pink heart symbol positioned at the top center. Below it, two identical instances of white pixelated text read "ALEX <3" side-by-side. The heart is formed by solid magenta pixels in a blocky, low-resolution style typical of early digital graphics. Each letter and symbol uses distinct white pixels with visible dithering effects on edges. The entire composition has no additional elements or motion.
