About this icon

Animation

  • the lower stem changes shape from smooth cylinder to elongated oval
  • the dot on the sphere changes color from dark green to light green in one frame

Animation Summary

  • The lower stem changes shape across observations while the top sphere's dot occasionally shifts from dark green to light green.

Composition

  • vertical alignment
  • spherical top element
  • lower stem attachment

Dense Caption

The asset is a single animated object composed of a spherical top element and a lower stem. The sphere has a reflective silver surface with light blue highlights and contains a dark green lowercase 'i' character with a solid dark green circular dot above it. The connecting stem below the sphere changes shape across observations: in some views it is a smooth vertical cylinder, in others it becomes an elongated oval or flattened form. In one observation the top sphere's dot appears light green instead of dark green. All elements maintain consistent silver and dark green coloring except for this single color variation on the dot. The background is white with no other objects present.

Description

A silver metallic sphere with a dark green lowercase 'i' and dot, attached to a matching vertical stem that changes shape across observations.
