The left icon's text is fully visible while the right icon's text is partially obscured by pixelation. A cyan pixelated heart symbol appears above and centered between the two icons. The heart is composed of blocky pixels in a light blue color. Both text icons have a low-resolution, retro digital appearance with visible pixelation and jagged edges. The heart symbol is static and does not animate.
