# Required field animated icon

A form field is flagged as required. Light: the asterisk beside the field's label pops up to a larger size with a quick twist and snaps back, and a beat later the empty field below dips under the flag and springs back. Strong: the asterisk crouches, pops bigger with a wider twist, snaps back and pops once more, smaller; the field dips with each pop. The label and asterisk keep their places.
