A whole cartoon family of seven, all dressed in identical olive-green and mustard-yellow stage costumes, lined up like a vaudeville bill on a wooden floor before red theatre curtains. The most striking figure is the enormous bespectacled man in the centre with his mouth wide open in a laugh and one arm thrown skyward, dwarfing the tiny goggle-eyed baby at his feet. The entire backglass is dark except for the family, who are lit brightly against black wings. Three small company logos are stacked in the top-right corner, including a red FRED badge. The title FAMILY GUY in chunky turquoise-and-white lettering sits alone at top-left.
