Fingerprint: caribbean: CARIBBEAN diagonal across coloured scoring wedges climbing to 900, beach hut with palm trees, row of bright ceramic pots, pin-up woman in red bikini and plate stack, pink starfish and parrot, red-orange fish figure, tropical airbrushed style

Distinctive

The most memorable element is the huge diagonal fan of coloured scoring wedges across the top third, each in a different bright colour and carrying a white number climbing to 900, with the white script CARIBBEAN logo lying diagonally across them. Second, the crowded shelf of oversized brightly coloured ceramic pots in yellow, orange, magenta, blue and green lined up across the middle of the beach scene. Third, a cluster of tropical novelty figures at the bottom: a huge magenta starfish, a pink-and-yellow spotted parrot-like bird, and a red-orange fish or lobster character in a pink hat at the lower right. Fourth, the lone pin-up woman in a red bikini on the far left beside a tall stack of yellow-rimmed plates.

Full description

A bright, airbrushed tropical holiday scene printed as a backglass. The top third is filled with broad diagonal colour wedges in magenta, red, orange, yellow, lime, green and blue, radiating out from a light blue sky, each wedge carrying white scoring numbers that climb from 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 through 600, 700, 800 and 900; over the wedges sits a large white script logo reading CARIBBEAN, set diagonally with a dark drop shadow, with a small gold cursive word above it. Below, a sunny beach scene: pale blue sky, green palm trees with two curved trunks, a red-canopied beach hut with striped posts, and a cream sand band holding a row of brightly coloured ceramic pots in yellow, orange, magenta, blue, green and red, plus small urns. On the left stands a single pin-up woman with long black hair, tanned skin and a red bikini top, posed beside a stack of yellow-rimmed plates or bowls; below her is a second female figure with pale hair in an orange-and-white patterned outfit beside a large pink starfish. The lower right shows a red-orange fish or lobster-shaped figure with a white face and pink hat, a blue swimming pool with a green lily-pad-like island ringed with pink, purple and yellow pads, a small black-and-white penguin-like bird and a blue dolphin on the sand, and a curved red ribbon banner with a short pale word.
