The oversized ICE FEVER title in cream block letters with black outline and red shadow, slanting slightly across the top. A face-masked goalie in green sprawled in front of a red-posted white net on the left, opposed by a huge blue-jersey skater in a red helmet lunging in from the right with a red 2 on his sleeve. Four black score windows glowing with green zeros sit low in the art, with a small credits/tilt panel between them. Two players are shown from behind with surnames arcing across their shoulders and a large red 2 on each back, so the numeral 2 repeats four times across the glass.

A full-colour ice-hockey backglass printed as a comic-book action panel. Across the top, huge block capitals read ICE FEVER in cream-white letters with a heavy black outline and a red drop shadow, filling a banner strip. Below it a chaotic rink scene: a green-jersey goalie with a white face mask and a large white blocker glove dives or crouches at the left in front of a white goal net with red posts, while a much larger blue-jersey skater in a red helmet, red gloves, red-and-white striped socks and a red number 2 on his sleeve charges in from the right, gripping a stick. The ice is pale blue-grey with painted skate scuffs and a blue-painted rink line. Lower left a second green player with blue-black hair dives forward, stick extended, his back name arcing across the jersey above a large 2. Lower right the same blue player's back fills the corner, name arcing over a red 2. Four black rectangular score windows with green LED-style zeros are mounted low, two left and two right, flanking a small centre panel. Dominant colours are blue, green, red and white.

Fingerprint: ICE MANIA in fat yellow 3-D block letters appearing to melt icicles dripping, large green-yellow ice-hockey player dominating center with ICE on jersey lifted skate, second player red-white striped jersey left, third player red-dark jersey right, two tan-orange hockey stick blades slashing lower white ice wide V, four blue digit score windows icicle-studded, bold flat comic-book style
The most memorable element is the giant green-and-yellow ice-hockey player in the centre, chest-out with a small 'ICE' word across his jersey, one skate lifted mid-stride, dwarfing the two flanking skaters. Second is the title ICE MANIA in fat yellow 3-D block letters that appear to melt, with icicles dripping down from the banner onto the score windows. Third, the two tan/orange hockey stick blades slashing across the lower white ice in a wide V. Fourth, the four blue digit score windows studded with icicles and paired with yellow player numbers 1-4.

A tall, portrait-format ice-hockey backglass. Across the top a dark maroon/plum banner with hanging icicles carries the title ICE MANIA in large chunky yellow-orange block capitals with a lighter yellow top face and dark drop shadow; a tiny white-outlined logo box sits in the extreme top-left corner. Four blue seven-segment score windows are set into the art, two upper and two lower, each framed by dripping icicles, with small yellow player numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 beside them. Dominating the centre is a large male ice-hockey player in a green jersey with yellow sleeves and horizontal yellow chest stripes, a green cap, green shorts, yellow socks with green trim and black skates, gripping a long tan-orange hockey stick blade that lies across the bottom of the picture. Behind him on the left skates a second player in a red-and-white horizontally striped jersey, red helmet and black skates, leaning forward; on the right a third, smaller player in a red-and-dark jersey glides with arms spread. Bottom-right is a cropped portrait of a player in a red helmet with a small emblem. The background is pale white ice with grey shadow patches, and the whole piece is rendered in bold flat comic-book ink outlines.
