Fingerprint: UNITED'S over MANHATTAN in bulb-dotted cream letters on tall magenta title bar tilting left, trans-lit backglass with night-time city scene, three nested black-and-gold scoring arcs filled with bright numerals, elegant couple at lower center, ballerina in white tutu with swirling magenta chiffon train held by man in shirt and braces
The tall vertical magenta title bar on the left, spelling UNITED'S over MANHATTAN in bulb-dotted cream letters, is the most memorable element, tilting across the left third of the glass. Second, the elegant couple in the lower centre: a ballerina in a white tutu with a huge swirling magenta chiffon train held by a man in shirt and braces. Third, the three nested black-and-gold scoring arcs packed with multi-coloured numerals against a starry art-deco skyline.

A trans-lit style backglass with a night-time city scene behind a ballet couple. Upper two-thirds is dominated by three curved scoring tracks of brightly coloured balloon-outline numerals set on black, gold-edged ribbon bands: an outer arc across the top reading tens of thousands in sequence, and two shorter inner arcs beneath it. A tall magenta marquee bar runs down the left side at a slight angle, edged with orange bulbs, carrying cream block letters outlined in dots spelling UNITED'S above MANHATTAN stacked vertically, with the initial M formed partly of bulbs. Behind the tracks is a stylised art-deco skyline of grey, green and violet skyscrapers with lit windows and stars in a deep blue sky. Below the tracks, a woman with auburn hair in a white strapless tutu and long trailing pink-magenta chiffon skirt leans back, held at the waist by a dark-haired man in a white shirt and dark trousers with his hand at his hip. Along the bottom left an outer lane curves down with additional coloured scoring values.
