Fingerprint: RangeR title white block-pixel letters "in the ruins" subheading; 8-bit pixel-art retro style; huge white bracket-like R letters framing ange; white wireframe circle striped lower-left quadrant behind logo; jagged black skyline ruined towers; olive-green helmeted humanoid standing dark ground band; pale cyan glowing floating shape radiating nubs; mauve plum sky
The single most memorable feature is the huge white 'RangeR' logo, where two oversized capital R letters wrap around and under the smaller 'ange' to form a bracket shape framing the word. Behind its upper left is a thin white wireframe circle striped across its lower-left quadrant like a wire globe. The scene below is a black jagged silhouette of ruined city towers with a lone olive-green helmeted figure standing on a dark band of ground, and a small pale-cyan glowing object hovering to the right. Everything is drawn in chunky 8-bit pixel blocks against a mauve and plum sky.

A low-resolution, 8-bit pixel-art backglass in a flat retro game style, dominated by a mauve and plum sky. In the upper third a large white block-pixel logo reads 'RangeR' in heavy angular italicised capitals, the two capital R letters acting as bracket-like bookends around the smaller letters 'ange', with the R legs sweeping out beneath the word. Directly below, in smaller white pixel capitals, is the line 'in the ruins'. Behind the top-left of the logo sits a thin white-outlined circle, like a wire globe or striped planet, its lower-left quadrant filled with horizontal white stripes. Below the title a jagged black skyline silhouette of ruined towers and rooftops runs the full width of the panel, with a few isolated teal-blue lit windows. A dark near-black horizontal band forms the ground plane beneath the ruins. On that band, left of centre, stands a single small olive-green pixel humanoid figure in a bulky suit or coat, with a rounded helmet-like head and stubby limbs. To the right, floating above the ground, is a pale cyan glowing shape resembling an abstract machine part, flame or orb with radiating nubs. The lowest strip is a pale lavender-grey ground with lighter blocky patches.
