Fingerprint: BIRD WATCHER in bubble letters with low-poly seagull flying head-on between words, white faceted head and blue crown, long angular blue wings spread horizontally, six smaller gulls in varied plumage circling title, large dark-brown gull standing in foreground with wings outstretched, faceted vector art style with lime-green hillside, steel-blue sky, white clouds
The most memorable feature is a stylised low-poly seagull in flight, head-on, with a bright blue crown and nape and long flat blue wings stretched straight out to either side, sitting directly between the two halves of the title. Around it, six smaller gulls in different plumage colours circle the sky. A second, much larger dark-brown gull stands on the grass in the bottom centre with its wings fully spread, facing away from the viewer. The whole backglass is done in a faceted low-poly polygon style, with a lime-green triangulated hillside, yellow flowers, and floating white polygonal clouds against a steel-blue sky.

A wide, horizontally-oriented illustrated backglass rendered in flat low-poly (triangulated) vector art, split into a sky band across the top two-thirds and a grassy hillside across the bottom third. The title BIRD WATCHER is set in large, rounded, cartoonish bubble letters in pale sky blue with a heavy black outline, BIRD arched across the top centre and WATCHER in a longer slightly wavering line beneath it. Behind and between the words is a low-poly seagull seen head-on: white faceted head, orange-and-yellow beak, dark round eyes, blue crown and nape, and long angular blue wings spread wide to left and right. Six other gulls fly around the title in red, orange, black-and-white, grey and green plumage. The background sky is a flat steel blue with a handful of faceted white and grey cloud or iceberg masses at the top left, top right and mid right. The foreground is a bright lime-green faceted hillside with polygonal bushes, scattered yellow dandelion-like flowers on thin green stems, fence posts, and a few grey rocks. A large dark-brown gull stands in the bottom centre with wings outstretched, seen from behind. In the bottom right corner a white maker's mark reads Ian Harrower GAMES, with GAMES in a bolder brush script.
