Fingerprint: Captain Hook 2, sprawling pirate protagonist diagonally across wooden planked deck, center vertical target tower spelling C-A-P-T-A-I-N and H-O-O-K, modern grey warship with radar dish in blue sea, gold script crossed skull-and-crossbones on curved slogan, wooden platform marked SPOT DIFFERENCE, compass-rose bumper caps, honey-gold and sky-blue palette over dark brown apron
A bearded pirate captain in a blue coat and plumed bicorn hat lies sprawled diagonally across the middle of the wooden deck, apparently thrown from the ship. Below him a vertical stack of round targets spells out C-A-P-T-A-I-N then H-O-O-K down the centre of the playfield as two separate word tracks. A modern grey warship with a black radar dish is parked oddly in the blue sea at upper left, a deliberate anachronism beside the pirate theme. The bottom apron carries a curved gold script slogan with crossed yellow skull-and-crossbones on both sides of it, and a bulb-lit Captain Hook 2 logo glows in the centre.

|---|---|
| Man | Bearded pirate captain lying diagonally across the centre of the deck, blue coat with red trim, white ruffled shirt, dark blue breeches and stockings, plumed bicorn hat, one arm flung outward, a dagger at his belt, red-lined cape, tired or defeated expression |
| Vehicle | Grey modern warship with a black radar dish, masts and a red cursive name painted on its hull, floating in the blue sea at upper left |
A wooden pirate-ship playfield at a slight angle: sky-blue sea and white clouds fill the upper third, honey-coloured planked decking the lower two thirds. Upper left a grey modern warship with a black radar dish and red cursive lettering on its hull sits in the water beside a small life ring. Across the upper middle a grey stone-and-timber sea wall carries a bank of round white stand-up targets, three of them lettered A, B and C. Two big pop bumpers with cream-and-navy compass-rose caps sit side by side below, flanked by skull-and-crossbones shields and blue wave ramps. A wooden platform at left reads SPOT DIFFERENCE. The dominant figure is a painted pirate captain sprawled diagonally across the middle, bearded, blue coat with red trim, white ruffles, dark breeches, plumed bicorn hat, dagger at his belt, red-lined cape and a green bottle beside him. Two broad orange-red flippers point down from mid-field. The dark brown apron has crossed yellow skull-and-crossbones either side of a curved gold script slogan, with two white instruction cards flanking a bulb-lit Captain Hook 2 logo. Dominant colours: honey gold, sky blue, dark brown, orange-red.

|---|---|
| Man | Pirate climbing the rigging at upper right, tan/cream coat, green breeches, dark hat, arm outstretched gripping a rope, drawn small and high on the mast |

Illustrated pirate backglass in a bright comic/cartoon style. The left third is open blue sky fading to a green-teal choppy sea at the horizon, with two small multi-masted sailing ships (one nearer with white square sails, one tiny distant silhouette). Dominating the left-centre is a large curved two-line title in chunky western-style serif lettering, letters running from deep red through orange to yellow, outlined in gold with a heavy dark drop shadow. Above the title at top-left is a yellow circular emblem with a large '1' in it, beside a small wordmark. Upper right is a mass of ship rigging: rope ladders, a wooden yard and stays against a huge dark navy-blue sail. Three pirates are worked into the rigging. Below, a warm honey-coloured planked wooden deck with a rope coil, a treasure chest, cutlass blades and coiled rope fill the lower band. Four yellow numbered discs mark positions. Small red seven-segment digit displays are set into the lower centre.
