Fingerprint: jaeton, tall ghostly pale blue-green humanoid figure exact center with arms flung straight up wide V, elongated skeleton-like head and ribbed torso, enormous pale ringed planet disc filling whole top half of glass so red title appears atop giant planet, pair of odd objects flanking figure, red-orange domed mushroom on pale stalk left with yellow-orange flame burst beneath, teal-blue sphere with silver spiky spacecraft right, large pale grey winged shape sweeping bottom
The most memorable element is a tall, ghostly pale blue-green humanoid figure in the exact centre with both arms flung straight up in a wide V, its elongated head and ribbed torso rendered like a skeleton or alien. Behind everything, an enormous pale ringed planet disc fills the whole top half of the glass, so that the red title lettering appears to sit on top of a giant planet. Second most striking is the pair of odd objects flanking the figure: a red-orange domed mushroom shape on a pale stalk at left with a yellow-orange flame burst beneath it, and a teal-blue sphere with a silver spiky spacecraft at right. A large pale grey winged shape sweeps across the very bottom of the picture, overlapping the dark blue craft the figure stands on.

A square backglass painting dominated by a deep maroon and purple starfield background, with a huge pale grey-blue ringed planet or halo disc arcing across the entire top half behind the title. The word "JAETON" spans the top in wide block capitals painted bright red with a thick white and pale blue outline and drop shadow, set on a slight upward slant. Below it, dead centre, a tall pale blue-green humanoid figure with a narrow elongated head and both arms thrown straight up and outwards in a V, standing or rising from a dark blue and white winged craft that spreads across the lower middle. To the left of the figure sits a red-orange domed mushroom-like shape on a pale stalk, beside a burst of yellow and orange flame. On the right, a smooth teal-blue sphere floats like a small planet, above a silver-white spiky mechanical object resembling a rocket or spacecraft. A large pale grey winged form sweeps across the bottom foreground. The image is soft, blurry and washed out, with glare and reflection washing the colours out.
