About this icon

Animation

  • plus sign and X symbol alternate between frames
  • small cross symbols appear near text in some frames
  • text highlighting alternates between white and yellow letters

Animation Summary

Eight-frame animation alternating between plus sign and X symbol corners while text highlighting varies, maintaining consistent cityscape background

Composition

  • centered text
  • cityscape framing
  • consistent skyline positioning

Dense Caption

A grid of eight animated frames showing a pixelated New York City skyline at night. The background features dark silhouettes of skyscrapers against a sepia-toned sky, with the Empire State Building prominently visible on the left side. Each frame contains 'NEW YORK' text in white and yellow lettering at the bottom center. The icon has an orange border that changes between frames: some frames show a plus sign (+) in the top-right corner while others display an X symbol (x). Some frames also have small cross symbols (x) or plus signs (+) near the 'NEW YORK' text. The animation alternates between different combinations of these border elements across all eight visible frames, creating a subtle blinking effect without changing the main cityscape image. The overall style is retro pixel art with limited color palette dominated by browns, blacks, and yellows. Each frame maintains consistent composition with identical skyline positioning but varies in corner symbols and text highlighting patterns.
