Fingerprint: Queen Opera: Black-and-white piano-key lane and guitar-pick-shaped emblem, painted guitarists in flame poses, four portrait medallions above flippers, yellow banner with music-shop keywords, gold heraldic lion-skull crest on black apron, rock-concert colors
The most memorable feature is the black-and-white piano-key lane painted down the left of centre, paired with a guitar-pick-shaped white panel bearing a gold QUEEN OPERA emblem. Second, the apron rule card headed QUEEN BALL whose music-shop wording (SONG MOVIES, INSTRUMENTS, SIGNATURES, STOCKPAPERS) tells you the theme is a rock band. Third, a huge gold heraldic winged-lion-and-skull crest stamped on the black lower apron, flanked by two burgundy instruction cards. Fourth, a row of four round portrait medallions of band members just above the lower playfield flippers.

| Man | Painted long-haired guitarist in a yellow/gold flame-lit pose at centre-right, knees bent, holding a white-bodied electric guitar, mouth open as if singing |
| Man | Second painted guitarist figure lower and left of the first, black hair, light skin, in a darker jacket, arm raised |

A glossy rock-concert-themed pinball playfield shot from directly above, filling a black cabinet with yellow-gold side rails. The lower third is dominated by a fan of thin rainbow-coloured speed lines (red, yellow, green, blue, magenta) radiating up from the bottom, with a black apron at the foot carrying a large gold heraldic crest of a winged lion above a crown and skull. Two dark maroon instruction cards sit on the apron, one headed QUEEN BALL with rule headings SONG MOVIES, INSTRUMENTS, SIGNATURES, STOCKPAPERS and HANDY CAPTIONS, the other headed QUEEN PINBALL reading BRIAN MAY'S HOT TIP. In the middle of the lower playfield a large white guitar pick shape carries a gold-and-black circular emblem reading QUEEN OPERA. Just above it is a silver dome surrounded by orange flame art. Four circular portrait medallions of band members' faces sit in a row above the flippers, flanked by painted long-haired guitarist figures in yellow and orange flame-lit poses. Black-and-white piano keys run down the left-centre lane, chrome wire ramps snake across the top, and blue, teal and purple flame/marble swirl fills the upper playfield around a rounded arch structure.

A painted backglass dominated by an enormous cream-white serif word QUEEN with a thin black outline and dark drop shadow, arching across the top against a hot red-to-yellow burst background. Four young men stand shoulder to shoulder across the lower half, each holding an electric guitar. Far left: a grinning curly-haired man in a white tee with a pale blue-green print, holding a dark blue guitar. Left of centre: a man in a black-and-white horizontal striped top, deadpan squinting expression, gripping a long black-and-white patterned guitar neck. Centre-right: a curly-haired man in a bright gold military-style jacket with epaulettes and studded cuffs, singing into a handheld microphone, mouth wide open, fist raised. Far right: a slim curly-haired man in an open white shirt over a tie-dye top with a chain necklace, holding a red-brown guitar. Behind them float two brown guitar pick shapes and a white spotlight lens flare. The bottom of the piece is cropped, so no score display is visible.

Fingerprint: queen, four feathered-haired musicians before golden cymbal discs, one singing in bright yellow satin jacket, separate rectangular inset shows fifth guitarist in blue robe under red-purple stage lighting, white serif QUEEN on black with red diagonal sweep, rock band photograph-composite
The most memorable feature is the enormous white serif QUEEN wordmark on black with a red diagonal sweep running out of the Q across the whole glass. Four moustachioed, feather-haired guitarists stand shoulder to shoulder in front of giant golden cymbal discs, one of them in a bright yellow satin bomber jacket singing into a microphone. A separate glowing red-and-purple rectangular inset below repeats a fifth curly-haired guitarist in a pale blue robe, like a stage-light screen set into the backglass. Four white teardrop lens shapes in the black lower border flank a small white maker's logo.

A photographic-composite backglass with a rock-band theme. Across the top, huge white serif capitals with a thin red outline spell QUEEN on black, the Q's tail sweeping right as a long red diagonal stroke beneath the word; a small grey circular disc sits above the E. Four male musicians with 1970s feathered hairstyles are pictured, each before a large golden-brown cymbal disc: at left a curly-haired man with a moustache in a white shirt with broad black horizontal stripes, gripping a black electric guitar whose body is cut off by the left edge; centre-left a man in a black-and-white striped top with one arm raised; centre a singer in a bright yellow satin bomber jacket with white sleeves, mouth open at a microphone near a stand; at right a curly-haired man in a pale blue open shirt holding a red-and-black electric guitar. Below them a separate rectangular inset panel shows a fifth curly-haired figure in a pale blue robe playing a red guitar, lit by red and purple stage wash with a dark crowd silhouette along its bottom edge. The lower third of the glass is black with four white teardrop-shaped lens shapes flanking a small white maker's logo. Dominant colours are black, white, golden yellow and red.
