About this icon

Animation

  • frame 1: outer stripes compressed
  • frame 2: outer stripes expanded

Animation Summary

The animation alternates between two states: one where the outermost stripes of the star pattern are compressed and another where they expand outward, creating a rhythmic pulsing effect.

Composition

  • symmetrical
  • repeating pattern
  • centered stars

Dense Caption

The image displays a black-and-white animated optical illusion composed of five-pointed stars. Each star features multiple concentric layers of alternating black and white stripes that create a visual pulsing effect. The central area of each star is gray, surrounded by progressively wider bands of black and white forming the star's points. The animation consists of two distinct frames: in one frame the outermost stripe pattern appears more compressed while in the other it expands outward, creating a rhythmic shifting motion. All elements are rendered with sharp pixelated edges typical of early digital graphics.

Description
