Fingerprint: GELTS huge arched white-and-green letters, LET THE GAMES BEGIN shield, purple night sky, bare-chested Highland warriors in tartan kilts, ghostly blue clawed figure, Scottish bold comic.
A huge arched white-and-green GELTS logo filling the whole top half, with the blue-outlined slogan LET THE GAMES BEGIN! on a stone shield directly beneath and a tiny yellow HAGGIS ribbon badge below that. A ghostly pale-blue long-haired clawed figure reaches into the frame from the top right corner, opposite a grey castle keep and pine trees on the left. A black raven perches directly above the title, and a shaggy reddish-brown animal sprawls across the stone shield. The bottom half is packed with bare-chested, red-bearded Highland warriors in tartan kilts, one screaming with a bald head and one hefting a huge wooden club.

Flat rectangular backglass with a purple night-sky background, framed on all four sides by a grey carved stone Celtic knotwork border. The upper half is dominated by the word GELTS in enormous white block letters with a bright green outline and black drop shadow, arcing across the top. Beneath it sits a grey stone shield carrying a white banner lettered LET THE GAMES BEGIN! in white letters outlined in blue, and below that a small yellow ribbon plaque reading HAGGIS. A reddish-brown shaggy animal lies across the top of the shield. The background is packed with scenery: a grey stone castle with several towers and a round keep on the upper left, dark pine trees, a gnarled bare tree, blue and white lightning bolts zig-zagging across the purple sky, small purple cloud puffs, and a large yellow-gold ribbon or sash curling down the right side. A black raven or crow perches just above the title. The lower half is crowded with caricatured Highland figures: bare-chested, hugely muscled, red-bearded men in green and blue tartan kilts, one bald with a furious open-mouthed expression at the lower left, one holding a large wooden club or log at the lower right, plus a red-haired woman in a red tartan dress on the right edge and smaller figures in the centre background. A ghostly pale-blue clawed figure with streaming hair reaches in from the top right corner. Art style is bold, heavily inked comic-book cartoon with thick black outlines and flat saturated colour.

The most memorable element is the stone-lettered arched 'CELTICS' title in white with vivid green inner shading, sitting over a real-looking stone lintel and wall. A blue-hooded, grey-green zombie with clawed hands lunges in from the top right corner, the only undead figure. The corners are packed with caricatured Celtic men with enormous red beards, one of them gripping a huge diagonal wooden club. A comic red rat with big teeth sits directly above the slogan 'LET THE GAMES BEGIN!', and a tiny yellow 'HAGGIS GAMES' plaque hangs below it.

A wide landscape backglass filled with a Celtic folk-hero caricature scene, drawn in a bold outlined comic style. The top half is a purple night sky with forked blue lightning, small purple clouds, a black crow perched on a stone arch at top centre, a grey craggy castle on a hill at upper left, a wooden barrel and a large tan drinking horn at left, and a snarling pale-green-skinned zombie in a tattered blue hood reaching in from the top right. Across the middle the huge arched title 'CELTICS' is lettered in white stone-textured capitals with bright green inner shading and a black outline, arranged on a curve over a stone lintel. Below it a red-brown rat sits on the stones and a yellow ribbon banner carries the slogan 'LET THE GAMES BEGIN!' in white block capitals with blue shadowing; beneath hangs a small yellow plaque reading 'HAGGIS GAMES'. Six characters crowd the lower half: two red-bearded warriors at left and centre-left, an elderly hooded sage with a long flowing white beard at bottom left gripping a wooden staff, a bare-armed grinning man clutching a heavy diagonal wooden club at bottom right, a brown-haired man in a blue tunic behind him, and a red-haired woman in an orange-red dress at the far right. Two tiny bare-chested figures dance on a green grassy hill in the lower centre, one with arms flung up.
