Fingerprint: CROSSROADS title on cream banner, stylized green island map criss-crossed by roads, red Million script across top, nine orange pop-bumper discs bisecting island, value panels scattered as mileage signs, deep blue chevron-wave sea at edges
A full-island road map painted as a game board, with the title banner 'CROSSROADS' laid across it like a map legend. Nine orange pop-bumper discs in a straight line bisect the island. The 'Million' script in a red banner across the top is the single most memorable element. Water made of chevron and zigzag wave lines in three shades of blue fills every edge of the composition.

A rectangular, wood-framed backglass in a bright mid-century cartoon style, dominated by a stylised map of a green island criss-crossed by roads, ringed by deep blue sea. Across the very top runs a red banner with the word 'Million' in large white cursive script. Below it, white value panels are scattered like mileage signs: 500 000, 500 000, 700 000, 800 000, 900 000, 700 000, 200 000, 300 000 and 400 000, each set in coloured type on green, red, yellow or blue backgrounds. A diagonal row of red-on-white number placards runs down the left side (500, 800, 700, 210, 40). A line of nine round orange pop-bumper discs crosses the middle of the island. The centre title is a cream banner reading 'CROSSROADS' in tall red block capitals with dark outline, with 'GOTTLIEB'S' in small black caps arched above it. Figures include a tiny uniformed rider on a motorbike near centre, a woman in an orange dress on the right shore, swimmers and fishermen in the lower water, a motor boat at bottom left, a red-roofed house on the lower left land, a sailing ship in the bay right of centre, and aircraft in the sky.
