Fingerprint: "HEADS UP!" arched yellow-orange title, two facing male profiles with red lightning between them, vortex of flame, four emerald faceted low-poly diamonds, abstract digital.
The most memorable element is the pair of facing male head profiles whose foreheads and noses form a red lightning bolt or bowtie between them - a mirrored confrontation rendered as pure energy rather than flesh. Second is the enormous arched yellow-and-orange HEADS UP! wordmark that fills nearly half the glass. Four bright emerald low-poly diamonds float in the vortex, and a gold squiggle logo with the tagline Pinball Evolved sits alone in the bottom right corner.

| Kind | Description |
|---|---|
| Man | Two facing male head profiles in silhouette, nose to nose, rendered as dark shapes filled with red, violet, blue and grey swirling energy; short cropped hair, glowing red eye socket; no body, no clothing |
| Other | Four floating faceted emerald-green low-poly diamonds, two on the left and two on the right, each ringed with star sparkle flares and a faint gold dotted outline |
A landscape-format backglass dominated by a huge arched wordmark reading HEADS UP! across the whole upper half, set in thick slanted block capitals with a yellow-to-orange vertical gradient, heavy black keyline, white outline and a black drop shadow, with an oversized exclamation mark. Behind it is a swirling radial vortex of orange, magenta, purple and red, like a tunnel of flame. Across the middle sit two facing profiles of a man's head, rendered as dark silhouettes filled with red, violet and grey energy; the two foreheads and the gap between the noses create a jagged bowtie or hourglass shape of flickering red lightning. Four faceted emerald-green low-poly gems float around the heads, two on the left (one small upper, one large mid) and two on the right, each with star-shaped sparkles and a faint gold dotted outline. No people, no score windows and no instruction text are painted on this piece; the bottom centre is empty violet swirl. Bottom right carries a gold-to-orange squiggle logo mark with the words ultimorphic and the tagline Pinball Evolved. Style is glossy digital airbrush with heavy glow and lens-flare sparkles.
