The enormous grinning headshot of a bald man in a white basketball jersey filling the centre-right, with a second full-body crouching figure of the same man to its left holding a basketball overhead. Around them a Looney Tunes-style cast gathers on a glowing orange basketball court: a green-goggled purple monster, a lanky white rabbit, a tall black-and-white duck in a white uniform, and a hooded masked figure. The green 'SPACE JAM' title sits over a yellow comet swirl in the top left, with 'Warner Bros.' in white script above it and 'Marco' in white at the top right, and a blue 'SEGA' logo at the lower right.

Illustrated basketball-versus-aliens backglass. Upper left has a white handwritten script credit reading 'Warner Bros.' above a large 'SPACE JAM' logo: 'SPACE' in rounded green block letters with purple-blue shadow, 'JAM' in bigger green capitals with yellow outline, all slanted, backed by a yellow-orange comet swirl. Upper right carries a white 'Marco' logo. Background is a deep blue and black starfield with coloured planets, and the bottom third is a glossy orange-brown polished basketball-court floor with a bright light flare behind the central figure. Two huge photographic portraits of a bald, smiling Black man in a white basketball jersey dominate the centre and right. Left of centre a full-body version of him crouches, right arm raised holding a basketball, wearing a white 'Tune Squad' jersey and shorts. Cartoon characters crowd the corners: a green-goggled purple monster with a wide open mouth at mid-left, and in the lower left a green-hooded masked character, a white lanky rabbit, and a tall black-and-white duck in a white uniform, plus a fuzzy orange-brown animal on the right foreground.
