Fingerprint: Bad Girls in salmon-pink cursive script, blonde woman in red-orange two-piece bent over billiard table corner, second blonde in black bikini and red patterned skirt beside her, purple and magenta neon-lit pool hall interior, dark blue score panel with numbers, black man watching behind in white shirt
A blonde woman in a red-orange two-piece is bent right over the corner of a billiard table, gripping the rail, while a second blonde in a black bikini top and red patterned skirt stands beside her with a hand on her hip. The title 'Bad Girls' is written in hot salmon-pink cursive script that appears to drip or melt down the glass. The whole interior is drenched in purple and magenta light, with a Black man in a white shirt and patterned trousers watching from behind. A dark blue score panel with rows of numbers and the words BALL in PLAY and MATCH sits over the lower legs of the figures, and a small scripted maker credit runs along the bottom edge.

Dark, neon-lit backglass showing a smoky late-night pool hall in purple and magenta. At top a gold rectangular plaque carries the maker name in bold black slab lettering, and beneath it the main title 'Bad Girls' is lettered in large salmon-pink cursive script with a curling D and a long swash under the words. The scene below is a bar-and-pool-table interior: a blonde woman in a short red-orange halter top and matching shorts leans far over the near corner of the billiard table, one hand gripping the rail, her head down and hair pulled up. At the right a second blonde woman in a black bikini top and red patterned mini-skirt stands with one hand on her hip. Behind them a Black man in a white open shirt and patterned trousers leans on the rail, with a woman in a red dress and other figures watching from a booth at the left. Bottles, glasses, a bar counter, a wall dartboard and picture frames fill the purple background. A dark blue score panel with red-pink lettering sits at lower centre, and a small scripted credit line runs along the bottom edge.
