Distinctive

The single most memorable element is the enormous diagonal 'Super BOWLING' script logo, red with a green and white drop shadow, sprawling across the entire upper half of the glass and overlapping the score reels. Behind it, two long rows of white reel windows all reading 0 stretch almost the full width. The lower half is a deep-perspective view down bright yellow bowling lanes populated by a whole team of bowlers frozen simultaneously in mid-throw, one leg kicked up behind each of them. Small numbered lane circles (1, 2, 3) and the words '1st' and '2nd' punctuate the red-orange upper field.

Full description

A brightly coloured illustrated backglass on a bowling theme. A huge slanted script logo reading 'Super BOWLING' runs diagonally across the upper half, drawn in red letters with heavy green and white shadow outlines. Behind and around it are two horizontal banks of white rectangular score reels, each reel window showing a black 0, framed by a red-orange field. Small circular lane markers numbered 1, 2 and 3, plus the labels '1st' and '2nd' inside thin circle-and-swoosh graphics, sit at the left and right ends of the reel banks. The lower half is a perspective view of yellow wooden bowling lanes running from the foreground to a vanishing point, with dark gutters and red-brown lane dividers. A cluster of male bowlers in white shirts and dark trousers is drawn mid-delivery across the lanes, legs kicked up behind them and arms flung forward, at different depths into the picture. At the far left a standing figure in white waits beside the approach, with leafy green trees and a small crowd behind. A green panelled structure with small white panels occupies the right edge. The art is flat, hard-outlined comic illustration in red, green, yellow and white on an orange-red ground.
