Each icon is a square with a white background. The top line reads 'ALWAYS THE' in bold black pixelated font. Below it, 'friend' appears in bold pink pixelated font. A single symbol separates the next lines: four icons show a black asterisk, six display five gray hearts, three have six light pink hearts, and three feature seven dark red hearts.
