Fingerprint: NEUTRON arcing upward and STAR arcing downward as split title, both words in hand-lettered red-orange flame-textured block capitals with white-blue drop shadow resembling 1950s poster, large white atom symbol at centre with nucleus dot and three crossing elliptical orbit rings, black starfield speckled with white and yellow stars, minimalist sci-fi aesthetic
The single huge white atomic symbol - a bright dot with three crossed elliptical orbit rings - dominates the centre of a black starfield, filling the whole gap between the two words. The title is split into two separate arched words, NEUTRON curving up at the top and STAR curving down below the atom. The lettering is a distinctive red-orange flame-textured block script with a thick white and pale-blue offset drop shadow, looking like 1950s rocket-poster type. There are no characters, machines or scenery at all - just type, an atom and a black starfield.

A vertically oriented backglass with a pure black, glossy, star-speckled background and no frame, no figures and no artwork other than type and an atomic symbol. Across the top, the single word NEUTRON arcs upward in a shallow dome, and across the lower third the single word STAR arcs downward, together reading as a two-line title. Both words are drawn in tall, narrow, hand-lettered capital letters filled with a mottled brick-red and orange flame-like texture; each letter carries a heavy offset drop shadow in white and pale blue, giving a chunky three-dimensional, slightly 1950s sci-fi poster look. The letter strokes are irregular and rounded, with pointed wedge serifs. Filling the entire central band between the two words is one large white atom emblem: a solid white nucleus dot at the centre with three long elliptical white orbit rings crossing it at different angles, the whole emblem glowing slightly and outlined in pale cyan. The rings extend nearly the full width of the glass. The black ground is speckled with tiny white and yellow star points and a few thin diagonal light streaks. A small pinside.com watermark in white lowercase sits in the bottom right corner. No score windows, instructions, copyright line or artist signature are visible.
