Fingerprint: MAC'S GALAXY arcing red block capitals with white outline, pale blue futuristic cityscape of towers and gantries, large blue-grey spacecraft with radar-dish shapes, bare-chested fair-haired man with yellow chest emblem and folded arms, dark-haired woman in white-pink spacesuit gripping long metallic rifle angled upward, white cloud mist swirling lower third, adventure heroes
The most memorable element is the title arcing across a black starfield: red block letters reading MAC'S GALAXY, split into two widely separated words with the second word on a slight upward curve. Second, the pair of figures: a bare-chested fair-haired young man with folded arms and a yellow chest emblem, standing over a dark-haired young woman in a white-and-pink spacesuit who shoulders a long silver rifle angled diagonally to the upper right. Third, the pale blue futuristic city of towers and a big blue-grey spacecraft with dish antennas filling the left half behind them. Fourth, pink-white mist billowing across the bottom third of the glass.

A portrait-format backglass inside a black plastic bezel, seen in a dim room against a patterned wall. The title MAC'S GALAXY arcs across the top in large red block capitals with a white outline and heavy black drop shadow, split into two groups with a gap in the middle, over a star-flecked black sky. Behind the figures is a pale blue-white futuristic cityscape of towers and gantries, with a large blue-grey spacecraft and radar-dish shapes entering from the left. Two figures stand centre: a young fair-skinned man with straight reddish-brown hair, bare-chested in a white harness over a yellow-and-white chest emblem, arms folded and staring forward; below-right of him a young fair-skinned woman with long dark wind-blown hair in a white and pink spacesuit, gripping a long metallic rifle angled up to the right. White cloud or mist swirls across the lower third. Below the glass sits a black score panel with dark rectangular windows and small white lettering on red bars.

A horizontally rectangular painted jungle scene framed by thick brown tree trunks and vines on both left and right edges, with green palm and banana leaves and pink tropical flowers growing out of the frame. Across the top, large red block capitals with heavy black outline and a cream drop shadow read MAC JUNGLE, arcing slightly across a pale beige sky. Centre-left stands one dark-skinned woman, full length, facing the viewer: long straight black hair with bangs, large hoop earrings, a strapless cream bikini top and matching briefs, white knee-high boots, holding a long thin spear with a white blade and wrapped grip in her right hand. To her right crouches a large tawny lion-like beast with a white shaggy mane, bared fangs and a pink tongue, one forepaw on a rock. Above the beast hovers a small pink-brown winged creature with large ears and a curled tail. The lower edge is a pile of tan boulders. Colours: red, tan, green, brown. Airbrushed painted realism.
