Fingerprint: CRITERIUM and big 80 in yellow block capitals on magenta-purple field, white rectangular number plate showing 0 8 4 2 8 0 in separate cells, stacked teal-blue arch shapes resembling colonnade windows, white decorative tile band, orange-yellow flame or wing shape erupting on right, sketchy dark terrain suggesting desert or canyon at lower band, hand-painted airbrushed illustration style
The most memorable element is the big yellow 80 set directly under the yellow block-capital title on a magenta-purple field, with an orange flame or wing burst to its right. A white number plate carrying the black digits 0 8 4 2 8 0 in separate cells sits immediately above the title, framed in black. The top of the piece is a purple band with teal-blue arch shapes and a small pale round medallion. The whole image is a very close crop of one corner, so the full playfield artwork and any figures are largely cut off, and the paint surface shows blur, glare and a faint horizontal reflection band across the upper third.
Setting
- Purple sky or wall with teal arch shapes
- Orange-red desert or canyon ground
Symbols
- Starburst behind the flame motif
- Row of arch shapes
- White digit plate
- Decorative red and cream block band
- Flame or wing shape
Lettering
- Large yellow block capitals with black outline and red edge, slightly arched; the numerals below and on the white plate are in a squared, cell-divided display style

A tightly cropped, low-resolution view of the upper-left corner of a painted pinball backglass, dominated by a purple and magenta field at the top and a hot orange-red painted band across the lower two-thirds. Near the top left, a broad magenta-purple wash is overlaid with stylised teal and blue arch shapes resembling a row of window arches or a colonnade, outlined in dark blue, with a small pale circular medallion set between them. A narrow horizontal strip of alternating red and cream blocks runs left to right beneath the arches, like a decorative band of tiles. On the right sits a white rectangular number plate with black digits, reading 0 8 4 2 8 0, each digit set in its own square cell. Below and to the left, the main title is lettered in large yellow block capitals with a black outline and a thin red edge: CRITERIUM, with a big 80 directly beneath in matching style. To the right of the title a yellow and orange flame or wing shape erupts against the purple, with a dark red burst behind it. The lower band is loosely painted orange-red suggesting a desert or canyon floor, with sketchy dark brown line work suggesting terrain and a dark spoked wheel-like form low in the frame. The art style is hand-painted airbrushed illustration. No other legible lettering is resolvable.
