Visibly more agressive design?
Would you say that the black bike (CF 7) appears to be more more aggressive? Same size bikes.... the headtube is 15mm shorter, the fork seems to have less of an angle and the stack is slightly shorter.

99spokes would do a better job visualizing the differences. You don't even have the wheels the same size in the gif so the scale's obviously different.

The frames are different, look at the seat stay/seat tube juncture. This difference though may only be cosmetic and each frame might have the same angles and tube lengths. You really can't tell from comparing two photos so I am going with what Surak posted.

Enter both bikes in https://bikeinsights.com/compare and see exactly how they differ.

Looks mean nothing read the geometry charts to compare.

Aggressive to me is the position of the rider and how aero they are. If you keep a lot of spacers under the stem on either of those bikes, then you won't be aggressive with your position.
Whichever one allows you to drop the stem the lowest is the one that will let you get the most aggressive.
this is a case where a picture is not worth a 1000 words. If the bikes are slightly different models then I can't tell if the top headset on either is going to let me get closer to the frame stack than the other.
