Fingerprint: NO GOOD GO FERS: orange cartoon squirrel balancing oversized dimpled golf ball on head while holding silver club, two snarling bulldogs wrestling over golf club with red flag, white rocket on wheeled contraption, flame-burst banner with spiky blue-and-white block capitals.
A grinning cartoon squirrel standing upright on the green, balancing a giant dimpled golf ball like a ringed planet above his head while gripping a silver golf club. Beside it, two snarling bulldogs in a tangle, one white in a red shirt, the other orange with heavy black jowls, wrestling over a golf club carrying a red triangular flag. A white rocket mounted on a wheeled contraption sits in the left background behind a rocket-shaped lawn machine. The title arches across a flame-burst banner, with 'NO GOOD' in small tilted pink letters and 'FERS!' in enormous blue-and-white block capitals.

Bright cartoon backglass with a dark green golf-course foreground. Across the top, an arched banner of orange-and-yellow flame/explosion rays carries the title in chunky outlined letters: small stacked pink-and-white 'NO GOOD' at an angle, a big gold-and-blue 'GO', and huge blue-gradient 'FERS!' with white outline and black drop shadow. Centre: a grinning orange cartoon squirrel with cream belly, buck teeth and a lightning-bolt tuft, holding a silver golf club and balancing an oversized dimpled golf ball on a stalk above his head like a planet, plus a small orange squirrel at lower left clutching a blue-and-red box. Right: two snarling bulldogs, a white one in a red shirt with a black ear and an orange one with black jowls, scrapping over a golf club topped with a red flag.
