Fingerprint: Red and green rounded score windows floating side-by-side showing 000, arched red "NAPLES" logo in chunky script with cream outline, "TWO PLAYER" above, cartoon waterfront scene lower-third with holidaymakers in sunglasses lounging by white railing, leaning palm tree, small boats, white-and-blue city buildings, numbered red-green discs scattered sky, turquoise-blue flat cartoon background

Distinctive

The most memorable element is the pair of rounded, brightly coloured score windows - a red one on the left and a green one on the right - each holding three white reels reading 000, floating side by side in the middle of the artwork. Second, the arched red NAPLES logo in a heavy cartoon script with a pale outline, sitting under small white TWO PLAYER lettering. Third, the cartoon waterfront strip along the bottom: men in sunglasses and open shirts lounging by a white railing with a leaning palm tree. Fourth, small red and green numbered discs (2 at top left, 1 and 2 near the bottom) scattered around the sky.

Full description

A brightly coloured cartoon backglass set against a flat turquoise-blue sky, with a tropical harbour scene across the lower half. Top centre is a curved red script logo reading NAPLES in chunky red letters with a cream-yellow outline and dark drop shadow, arched over by small white lettering reading TWO PLAYER. A solid red disc with a white 2 sits at top left, and a red disc of small white lettering sits top right. Two large rounded rectangular score panels flank the centre: the left one is red with three white reels each showing a black 0, and the word 1 PLAYER in red on a yellow band beneath; the right one is green with three white reels showing black 0s and 2 PLAYER beneath. A small red circle marked 1 sits low on the left, a green circle marked 2 low on the right. The lower third shows cartoon Riviera holidaymakers in straw hats, sunglasses and open shirts standing beside a promenade railing, a leaning palm tree at the left edge, small boats on blue water, and white-and-blue city buildings at the far right. Dominant colours are turquoise, red, green and yellow.
