About this icon

Animation

  • flickering animation of red elements
  • pulsing motion across all visible components

Animation Summary

  • Subtle flickering animation of red asterisks and dotted lines forming a symmetrical cross pattern on black background.

Composition

  • cross-shaped arrangement
  • central symmetry
  • four-way axis

Dense Caption

The image displays an animated pattern composed of small red asterisk symbols and dashed red line segments arranged in a symmetrical cross formation against a solid black background. The asterisks appear at the four cardinal points (top, bottom, left, right) and along the horizontal/vertical axes, with additional smaller asterisks forming secondary patterns near the corners. Dotted lines connect these elements horizontally and vertically through the center. Subtle flickering animation occurs across all red elements, creating a gentle pulsing effect without positional movement of individual components.

Description

  • Animated pattern of red asterisks and dotted lines forming a cross on black background, with subtle flickering motion.
