Distinctive

A red-and-white striped circus big-top whose scalloped valance carries the huge yellow title FUN-FAIR, with the smaller word GENCOS tucked in at the left. Four flat cartoon fairground figures line a numbered red-and-white counter at the bottom, one of them a woman in a red top and yellow skirt aiming a blue rifle skywards. A grey-blue painted mural of horses fills the dim stall opening behind them, flanked by blue-and-white striped canvas panels. The top corners are packed with bright numerals, 1 to 9 on the left and 100 to 900 on the right, with pennants reading MILLIONS and HUNDRED THOUSANDS flying from a central flagpole above a pale Ferris wheel.

Full description

A brightly coloured fairground backglass in a light wooden frame, with a red-and-white striped big-top tent filling the middle and the title lettered across its scalloped valance: GENCOS in smaller slanted capitals at the left, FUN-FAIR in huge rounded yellow letters with a red inner shadow and dark blue drop shadow. Above the tent a pale blue sky holds a cream flagpole carrying two pennants, a red one reading MILLIONS and a yellow one reading HUNDRED THOUSANDS, with a pale green and blue Ferris wheel behind the tent roof. The upper left has red, green and yellow numerals 1 to 9 above a red arrow; the upper right has three rows, 100 200 300, 400 500 600 and 700 800 900. Blue-and-white striped canvas panels frame the sides. Below, a dim grey-blue mural of horses fills the stall opening behind four cartoon figures at a red-and-white counter: a man in a yellow flat cap and green jacket, a blonde woman in a red top and yellow skirt aiming a blue rifle upwards, a boy in a blue sweatshirt and yellow trousers, and a red-haired woman in a yellow shirt and green trousers. The counter is numbered 00, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80.
