The centre is dominated by a huge orange-white seven-segment digital '24' glowing inside a thin circular gunsight reticle, high against a burning orange sunset skyline. A full-size cut-out of a stern blond man in a dark suit looms over the left half of the glass, larger than life, layered in front of the city. A man runs toward the viewer out of a fireball holding a pistol. The bottom strip is a grey translucent information bar reading like a countdown, with 'EVERY SECOND COUNTS........SPECIAL AGENT' and a silver 'CTU' badge.
