Pixel Heart Icon - Retro 8-Bit Love Symbol for Digital Design #2364486 (License: Personal Use)

This high-contrast pixel art heart features a vivid red core with subtle gradient shading using lighter and darker red pixels to suggest depth, framed by a clean black border against a neutral dark gray backdrop. Designed in authentic 16×16 pixel resolution, it captures the charm of early video game aesthetics while remaining versatile for modern digital applications. The left-side highlight adds dimensionality without compromising its minimalist, retro integrity.

Commonly used in indie game UIs (e.g., health bars, love meters), dating app icons, retro-themed websites, or as decorative SVG/PNG assets in digital art portfolios; matches user intent for nostalgic, expressive, or playful visual communication.
