A soft band of light travels across the icon on a slow loop. Nothing moves; only the colour crossing it does.

A living double-beat pulse that makes hearts, likes and health icons feel alive.
The icon widens as it flattens and narrows as it rises, wobbling like set jelly instead of moving as a rigid block.
Small shapes circle the icon on a tilted ring, brightening as they pass the front and dimming behind. A quiet premium tell.
The icon drops in with a bounce and rattles for attention, ideal for notifications and warnings.
The icon fades up and turns at a steady, unbroken rate. The plain loading turn every interface already speaks.
The icon hangs from its top edge and rocks side to side like a bell clapper, weighted rather than jittery.
The turn is broken into eight held steps with no easing between them, so it clicks round like a second hand.
