Fingerprint: Black glossy 8-ball forms first letter of BALL logo filled with tiny red stars, woman bent over green pool table holding cue, man beside her gripping cue, racked billiard balls at bottom rails, yellow cursive Williams script, carnival red-orange banner across top with oversized numerals one through six
The single most memorable feature is the glossy black 8-ball doubling as the first letter of the word 'Ball' in the logo. The backglass also reads as an enormous pool table scene, with two rows of brightly coloured numbered balls racked along the bottom rails and a woman bent over the green felt holding a cue. A bright yellow cursive 'Williams' script sits directly above the star-filled white 'Ball' lettering, and the whole top edge is a carnival-like red-orange banner of oversized numerals one to six. Two fan-shaped multi-colour stripe bursts flank the logo, and the green table surface is strewn with loose striped and solid balls.

A full-colour illustrated backglass dominated by a large brown wooden-panel background, with the word 'Williams' in flowing yellow cursive script at upper centre-left. The main logo reads 'Ball' in huge slanted white block capitals filled with tiny red stars and backed by a purple, blue and green drop shadow; the first letter is formed by a glossy black 8-ball with a white circle and black numeral 8. Across the top, a red-orange banner carries MILLIONS in yellow letters above large outlined numerals 1 to 6 in green, magenta, yellow, blue, orange and green. Beneath it a curved light-blue band lists 100,000 through 900,000 in alternating red, yellow, green and magenta. Two figures flank the logo: a dark-haired man in a yellow shirt holding a cue on the left, and a short blonde-haired woman in a green top and orange skirt leaning over the table on the right. The lower half shows a green felt pool table with scattered coloured balls, a rack of fifteen numbered balls on two rails, and a ball-return cup at the right edge.
