Fingerprint: enormous beaming green watermelon with anthropomorphic face held aloft by red-shirted man surrounded by celebrating crowd mob; green dot-matrix window displaying say no to drugs users are losers messaging; green cursive script logo tucked at top-right corner behind glare; row of small item icons with score numbers in black box at lower left; dense crowded airbrushed anti-drug mural
A huge grinning green watermelon with a silly face, held aloft in the centre of a cheering crowd by a man in a red shirt. The anti-drug slogan in the green dot-matrix window: 'SAY NO TO DRUGS' over 'USERS ARE LOSERS'. A green cursive script logo crammed into the top-right corner behind a bright glare spot. A row of small item icons with score numbers in a black box at the lower left.

Illuminated rectangular backglass with a dark, crowded airbrushed anti-drug mural filling the whole panel, framed by a thin pale border. A dense mob of painted characters presses toward the viewer: at centre a grinning man in a red shirt holds up a large green watermelon with a cartoon face, its black seeds drawn in rows; left of him a shirtless young man in a straw cowboy hat; front centre a blonde woman in a pale blue top with wide eyes and an open mouth; at right a woman in a tan shirt with a beaded feather headdress and long black hair. Behind them a jumble of faces, feathers and arms, and a red-feathered figure at upper right. A green cursive script logo sits at the top right, partly obscured by glare. Along the bottom is a black-framed inset panel of small item icons with numbers, a green dot-matrix display window reading two lines, and a bottom border strip carrying three small company logos and fine print.
