Fingerprint: Woman astronaut in white spacesuit with red gloves, head and shoulders, FICHET printed on helmet rim, peering through face opening, LEAP YEAR in overlapping italic block capitals with red-yellow offset shading over chequered racing flag motif, four black-green score windows framed in red zigzag chevron borders, small racing car and chequered flag vignette, deep magenta-red field, blue outer border

Distinctive

The single most memorable element is a huge portrait of a woman in a white spacesuit filling the entire right half, arms folded in thick red gloves, her face peering out through a helmet opening with the name FICHET printed on the helmet rim. The second is the title LEAP YEAR, set in overlapping italic block capitals with red, yellow and white offset shading over a chequered racing flag. Third, the four stacked black-and-green score windows down the left edge, each wrapped in a red zigzag chevron frame. Fourth, the oversized orange-rimmed green playfield schematic diagram filling the bottom third. Fifth, the tiny painted green racing car and chequered flag that set the speed/space-race mood.

Full description

A vertically framed, brightly coloured space-race themed backglass. The background is a deep magenta-red field inside a pale blue outer border. Across the top, the title reads LEAP YEAR in chunky italic block capitals, white with red and yellow offset shading and a dark outline; the words overlap so that YEAR is split and repeated, with a black-and-white chequered flag motif behind the right of the word YEAR. Below the title, centre-left, is a small painted racing scene: a green and white open-wheel racing car with a helmeted driver on a grey chequered background, next to a small figure in a white suit. Down the left third of the glass are four stacked horizontal windows with black interiors and green segmented digit slots, each framed by a red zigzag/chevron border; a small panel of three coloured round lamps (red, yellow, green) with a yellow triangular pointer sits at the lower left. The right half is dominated by a large painted woman astronaut from the chest up: white helmet with a dark visor band, brown hair and eyes visible through the face opening, thick red gloves, arms folded across her chest, pale blue-white spacesuit with a red stripe running down the torso. The lower third contains a large orange-bordered, kidney-shaped schematic diagram filled in green, showing grey and blue machine parts, a box with a yellow top, and a numeral 2.
