Dense Caption

Black background contains scattered white pixel stars. Four identical panels each display 'UN2' followed by two heart symbols, then 'GIMS', then 'hockey'—all rendered in orange pixelated text. The top-left and bottom-right panels have larger star counts; the top-right panel has a single additional small dot near its center. All four panels share the same layout but differ slightly in star placement.
