Fingerprint: Three mermaids swimming diagonal: blonde in pink bikini top leading, two dark-haired behind, huge pink 3D "ATLANTIS" floating upper left, tall golden tiered spired city left edge, ribbed brown shipwreck hull bottom with large red fish head, tropical fish scattered, coral sea-fans, underwater flat airbrushed cartoon style, bright cyan water with white wave streaks and bubbles, sunken-city adventure theme
The single most memorable element is the trio of swimming mermaids crossing the middle of the glass, led by a blonde in a pink bikini top, painted at a diagonal as if gliding downward through the water. Second is the huge pink three-dimensional ATLANTIS title block, tilted and floating in open blue water at upper left with no other lettering around it. Third is the tall golden tiered spired city or castle stacked up the entire left edge, and the fourth is the ribbed brown shipwreck hull spanning the bottom edge with a big red fish head at lower left.

Underwater-themed backglass in flat airbrushed cartoon style, dominated by bright cyan-blue water with white ribbon-like wave streaks and scattered bubbles. Upper left, a title reads ATLANTIS in chunky rose-pink and salmon 3D block capitals with lighter pink bevel highlights, tilted and floating over open water. Three mermaids swim diagonally across the centre: the front one a blonde in a pink bikini top with a red-pink scaled tail, arms bent and one hand raised; behind her a dark-haired woman with both arms thrown up in a red-toned tail; a third dark-haired woman in profile trails right in a pink tail. Four small fish swim in a loose diagonal line below them. Two large orange-gold fish with round eyes occupy the upper left corner; a pink shark-like fish and a small purple fish swim leftward at upper centre-right, with a school of tiny yellow-brown fish behind. A tall golden tiered spired city rises up the left edge. Purple, magenta and brown sea-fan corals fill the right edge, with a blue-mauve upright fish. A ribbed brown-orange shipwreck hull spans the bottom with a large red fish head at lower left.
