Fingerprint: Huge gold extruded BIG KICK lettering with dotted white bulb borders above and below, endless perspective recession of dozens of identically posed bikini-clad women marching diagonally from large foreground figure, tiny white SEGA lettering below title, stark black void

Distinctive

The single most memorable element is the endless perspective recession of dozens of near-identical women in bikinis marching diagonally from the large foreground figure at the lower left down to tiny ones at the lower right, forming a repeating pattern of bare legs. Second is the huge gold three-dimensional BIG KICK logo floating alone in the black upper right, framed above and below by a dotted row of white light bulbs. Third, the small white SEGA lettering sits in the black void beneath the logo, and the whole right side is stark empty black with a blank score window and a tiny white instruction card.

Full description

A painted electro-mechanical backglass on a deep black background. Dominating the upper right is the word BIG KICK in huge chunky slab-serif capital letters, pale yellow-gold faces with darker gold sides giving a 3D extruded look, edged with a heavy black outline; above and below the title runs a horizontal band of small round white bulbs like a dotted light border. Directly under the title, small white block capitals read SEGA. The whole left and lower half is filled with a long perspective recession of female figures in two-piece swimsuits, drawn in fleshy pink, magenta and cream tones: the nearest woman at the lower left is large, waist-up, wearing a pale bikini with a dark-trimmed top and a white pageant-style sash or collar detail, while dozens of identical smaller women repeat behind her in a receding diagonal line down to the lower right corner, each pair of bare legs and raised arm getting smaller and paler until they blur into the black. A burst of pink and magenta splash shapes, like confetti or water spray, erupts at the upper left. On the right, below the logo, sit a dark empty rectangular score window, a small white instruction card with black print, and two tiny outlined squares.
