Full description

Airbrushed cartoon backglass set over a turquoise-blue sky with white cloud streaks and a pale sandy island at lower right with green palm fronds and an ochre beach. The main title, in huge three-dimensional block capitals, reads BIRD on the upper line and MAN below, letters in a red-to-orange gradient with heavy yellow and black outlines and a white drop shadow; 'BIRD' sits inside a yellow-orange shape. Dominating the centre-left is a giant yellow-to-orange genie form, a broad funnel/torso with a striped green-and-white band and a small green 'Genie' logotype over it. Four horizontal white score reels run across the glass in a descending staircase, each preceded by a coloured triangular pennant and number: a blue pennant 1 at top left, a yellow pennant 2 mid-left, a blue/teal pennant 3 at centre, and a red pennant 4 at lower centre, each followed by six blank digit windows. Down the right edge is a small red '4 PLAYER' badge with a vertical column of four red circles numbered 1 2 3 4. Figures include two flying human characters with outstretched wings gliding on board-like wings at mid-left, a green parrot with a red breast near the top right, another green parrot at bottom left, and a small running figure on the beach at lower right. Two large green-and-white triangular sail shapes hang from the top edge. Dominant colours: green, blue, orange, red.
