The most memorable element is the enormous slanted FUTURE WORLD logo in orange-yellow with a red drop shadow, arched across a starfield with a white rocket nose poking between the two words. Second is the trio of occupants inside the white skeletal space-car cockpit: a red-jacketed dark-haired man, a blonde woman in a navy top leaning over the yellow instrument panel, and a fair-haired man in a red jacket holding the wheel. Third, the right-hand column of fantasy hardware: a yellow-ringed ringed planet, a cream tower with a big red downward arrow over a digit display. Fourth, the symmetrical white bumper pods at the bottom, each carrying a red player numeral in a white-bordered rectangle.

A painted sci-fi cockpit scene under a deep blue and purple starfield. Across the upper left a huge curved logo reads FUTURE WORLD in slanted orange-to-yellow block capitals with a heavy black outline and a red drop shadow, split into two stacked words by a white rocket nose.

A colourful backglass with a swirling purple, magenta and blue nebula-and-star field behind a diagonal white satellite with gold-striped solar panels and red portholes. Across the upper left runs a row of mechanical score reels with white numerals 1 to 9 and strings of zeros, a dark credit window, and two smaller black windows labelled CREDIT and BALL TO PLAY, each pointed at by a yellow arrow. The title SPACE CITY spans the middle in tall magenta block capitals with a yellow outline and heavy black drop shadow. The lower half shows a spacecraft cockpit interior with three people: a black-haired man in a teal jacket with red collar at left, a blonde woman in a red top in the middle, and a dark-haired man in a red jacket at right holding a control yoke. Outside the canopy are white domed buildings, a radio mast, a golden moon, star bursts and spiky golden rock spires. A strip of rounded yellow, green and blue rectangles runs along the bottom.
