Distinctive

A jostling mob of shouting children bursting forward beneath a rocket-and-globe badge, packed shoulder to shoulder as if queueing for a ride. A large yellow wire-mesh dome or netted ramp fills the right side behind them, while a rainbow spiral slide and lattice tower twist up the left. Oversized italic SPEED PUSH lettering with a white outline and blue drop shadow, set over blue-and-yellow radial speed lines, anchors the lower left. A small white-on-blue Playmeter badge and a gold-on-red BAHAMA sunburst badge sit below the artwork.

Full description

Brightly painted cartoon backglass on a dominant scarlet-red field. Across the top centre sits a score window showing mechanical reels with the digits 9 0 6 7 8 9 0 in black on white cards; above it a small rocket-and-globe emblem sits over a red ribbon banner lettered SPEED PUSH in small white capitals. The centre is crowded with a jostling group of roughly nine children and teenagers leaning toward the viewer, in varied clothes - white, yellow, orange, blue and striped shirts, one girl with long dark hair at centre-left, a boy in a cap, several with open-mouthed shouting smiles. A grinning adult man in a white shirt appears at the right edge of the group. Left of the group a yellow-and-orange lattice tower and a rainbow-coloured spiral slide rise against a pale yellow sky; right of them a large yellow wire-mesh dome, like a cage or netted ramp, sits behind the figures. The lower left carries a large italic speed-script logo SPEED PUSH in red capitals with a thick white outline and blue drop shadow over blue-and-yellow radial speed lines, beside a small white-on-blue Playmeter badge. The lower right has a red badge with a yellow sunburst and gold lettering BAHAMA. Style is flat comic-book line art with heavy black outlines.
