Full description

A flat printed backglass/display-head panel in a pale unfinished wooden frame, laid out symmetrically about a vertical centre line. The field is a bright cerulean blue with a white-outlined border and a narrow band of small five-pointed gold-and-white stars running down both the left and right edges. Across the very top sits a long yellow arrow with a spear-point tip aimed at the right, over radiating speed lines; a yellow starburst with radiating rays is printed in the top-left corner and a small dark spider sits near the top-right corner beside a block of tiny white print. The title SPIRIT OF 76 runs across the upper third in large white block letters with heavy dark-blue drop shadow. Below it is a blue panel holding two amber-tinted rectangular score windows with digit displays, flanked by a narrower central window. The lower half is dominated by a stepped instruction chart of eight cream-and-gold horizontal bars, like a staircase, with small blue tabs on the left carrying the letters A and B and rows of stars. Along the bottom edge sit five round cream digit wheels printed with large letters D, G, N, U and S. No human or animal figures are present. Style is flat airbrushed commercial graphic illustration in blue, gold, cream, white and grey.
