About this icon

Animation

  • frame 0: yellow @ symbol with green glowing spiral; frame 1: same @ symbol as solid yellow outline without glow

Animation Summary

  • Two-frame animation alternating between glowing spiral effect and solid outline of yellow @ symbol

Composition

  • centered @ symbol with spiral glow on left frame, solid outline on right frame

Dense Caption

The image displays two side-by-side animated frames from an AOL Instant Messenger buddy icon. Both frames feature a stylized yellow @ symbol (at sign) against a solid black background. The left frame shows the @ symbol with a bright green glowing spiral effect surrounding it, creating a neon-like aura that fades into darker green at the edges. The right frame displays the same @ symbol as a solid yellow outline without any glow or additional effects. The icon uses pixelated rendering typical of early 2000s digital graphics, with visible dithering and anti-aliasing on the glowing effect in the left frame. Both frames maintain consistent proportions and positioning of the @ symbol within their respective compositions. The animation appears to alternate between a glowing state (left) and a non-glowing solid outline state (right).

Description

Two animated frames of a yellow @ symbol icon with green glow on black background, left frame showing full spiral glow, right frame showing solid outline without glow.
