• There are eight icons in total, arranged in two rows of four; the icons on the right have a 'Suitable for dark background' note.
• Each icon is a stylized representation of graphs and trends, including line and bar charts, and adjustment tools.
• The icons are encased in simple, clean shapes that either convey the trend they represent, such as up and down arrows, or the form of the data representation, like bars for a bar chart.
• The text on the slide is sans-serif, providing a list of concepts each icon represents.

The overall look of the slide is professional and contemporary, with an emphasis on readability and clarity of the graphical elements. The use of color is restrained, highlighting key features for better visibility against different background choices.
