The centre is dominated by a large blue map of the town on a dark mottled background, scattered with small yellow five-pointed stars, a red arrow, a dark blue cloaked silhouette, a snowman, and cartoon children in parkas, cowboy hats and sunglasses.

Fingerprint: south park: SOUTH PARK giant roadside billboard in black slab-serif, four bundled children across bottom, snowy mountain resort street scene, red-headed dinosaur erupting from snowbank, yellow bus, police car, crowd of identical black-haired cartoon faces, cel-animation bright colours
The dominant element is an enormous roadside billboard reading SOUTH PARK in tall black slab-serif capitals, mounted on a post at the upper left, far larger than any other text. A red-headed orange dinosaur bursting out of a snowbank on the right-hand green hillside is the most memorable character. Four children in heavy winter coats and hats stand shoulder to shoulder across the whole bottom edge, with the hooded figure on the far right completely hiding his face. A row of identical-looking black-haired cartoon children and a chef brandishing a knife stand in the mid-ground crowd.

Wide illustrated backglass headed by a giant roadside sign reading SOUTH PARK in black slab-serif capitals on a cream/tan board with a dark post. The cartoon scene shows four bundled children in a snowy mountain resort street: Cartman in a red coat and blue/yellow ear-flapped hat, Kyle in a red coat with green trapper hat, Stan in a brown coat and blue/red pom-pom hat grinning, and Kenny in a red hooded parka with mitts obscuring his face. Behind them crowd black-haired identical cartoon children in a line, a chef in a white hat and jacket holding a knife, and other residents. Left edge shows a yellow bus and a brown-haired woman in a blue dress/apron at a table; right edge shows a white police car marked SOUTH PARK with a gold star badge. Mid-ground: a beige building with a fan-shaped window, a green-trimmed shop with a pink sign, a black-and-orange building, pine trees, and a red-headed dinosaur erupting from a snowbank on a green hill. Sky is bright cyan with white clouds, a large flat yellow sun, white mountains, a glacier peak, and three aircraft including a green helicopter. Flat cel-animation art in saturated reds, cyan, white and green.
