The icon features green, blocky, pixelated text reading 'START GAME' in all capital letters against a solid black background. Below the text is a cropped section showing a person's face and upper shoulders; the individual has long, curly dark brown or black hair, an open mouth revealing teeth, and visible skin tones ranging from light to medium brown. The image exhibits heavy pixelation typical of low-resolution digital graphics from late 1990s web content.
