# Star animated icon

The star is awarded and shines. Light: it gathers in, pops out with a rebound, and as it comes down from the pop five sparks flash out between its points and fade as they fly. Strong: a deeper gather with a counter-twist, then the star pops harder with a twist the other way, swings back through two decaying beats, and the sparks fly further.
