The most memorable element is the huge arched magenta-purple ONE-TWO-THREE logo in white-shadowed block capitals, sitting over a fan of thin yellow sunburst rays. A ring of nine tilted, colour-coded pill-shaped value panels (900,000 down to 100,000) cascades diagonally through the maroon centre field like falling coins. Six large numeral medallions line the two side edges - dark green 1-2-3 on the left, magenta 1-2-3 on the right - inside white scalloped circular frames. At the bottom a tiny cartoon city with a white fountain sits above the lone word THOUSANDS.

A flat, printed backglass dominated by a deep maroon/red oval field ringed by a mint-green and teal border with a yellow sunburst of thin rays fanning from the top centre. Across the top, in huge arched block capitals, is the title in magenta-purple letters with a heavy white drop shadow and a black keyline, spelling ONE-TWO-THREE with hyphens, arched so the middle word sits highest. Above and left of the title, small black-outlined capital letters on a mint panel read GENCO'S. Below the title the word Million appears in white cursive script with a black shadow. The centre of the glass is filled with nine slanted, pill-shaped award-value panels, each outlined in black and coloured a different shade, reading 900,000 down to 100,000 in white or black numerals. Down the left edge are three large numeral medallions 1, 2, 3 in dark green with white and black outlines; mirrored down the right edge are 1, 2, 3 in magenta-purple. At the bottom centre is a small stylised cityscape in green, maroon, yellow, pink and teal: flat-topped skyscrapers, a tall striped tower at the right, a white fountain spraying in the middle, small bushes, and the word THOUSANDS in white capitals on a dark curved banner.
