A huge arched CONCRETE title in pink stone-textured block letters sits directly above a painted family portrait of five cartoon cavemen in a blue rock alcove. A bright green dinosaur head juts out of the upper ramp area on the right, its snout and eye clearly modelled. A Santa-like figure in a red suit with a white beard stands on the left ramp near a small bone-framed Wild West sign. Two bone-framed novelty plaques reading T-REX and DINO'S FRENZY sit in the centre, and the word ROCK AGAIN in green letters sits on an orange arrowhead at bottom centre.

A large illustrated playfield dominated by a warm orange and yellow caveman theme, framed by a mottled brown-and-orange stone-texture border. Across the upper-middle an arched banner of big pink-and-red block letters with a stone texture reads CONCRETE, with a small white scroll beneath it reading COMPLETE FOR MULTIPLE. Below that sits a painted scene of five cartoon cavemen in a pale blue rock alcove: a large heavy-set man in a bone-shaped cream tunic with brown spots, a smaller red-haired child in a green tunic, a blonde woman in a white one-shoulder dress, a dark-haired man in a brown tunic, and a tiny child in orange. Two oversized yellow rubber flippers point inward below them. The upper playfield is packed with a stone hut labelled MARKET, a BEDROCK sign, a bone-framed Wild West sign, a big green dinosaur head protruding from a ramp, a Santa-like figure in red and white, a zebra-striped ramp, pink crystal rock formations, a waterfall, and rows of pink, green and yellow drop-target banks with triangular arrow inserts. Lower left carries a dark brown instruction card headed THE FLINTSTONES; lower right a pale yellow card with a cartoon hand, a QR code, and the word Free. The art style is flat mid-century cartoon illustration with heavy black outlines and no photographic elements.

Fingerprint: The Flintstones: cartoon cavemen family leaning over stone-age cart rim, large green flying reptile carrying purple pterodactyl above them, cream-coloured stone slab holding title in orange-and-red rounded letters, dozens of small prehistoric animals and cavemen vignettes, naive heavy-outlined cartoon style.
A family of cartoon cavemen leaning over the rim of a stone-age cart, crowded together and grinning out at the viewer, with a large green flying reptile carrying a purple pterodactyl on its back directly above them. The title sits on a giant cream-coloured stone slab rather than a shaped logo. A 'BEDROCK MOTORAMA' wooden signboard with a winged stone monument in the lower right corner is an easily recalled detail. Dozens of small individually drawn prehistoric animals and cavemen vignettes are scattered across the whole background, in a naive heavy-outlined cartoon style.

Painted cartoon backglass with a rough, mottled tan-and-ochre cave-wall background scattered with jagged rock fragments. Top left carries a small teal-blue cursive maker wordmark beside a round emblem. Centre is dominated by a wide cream-coloured stone slab banner carrying the title in chunky orange-and-red rounded letters with white highlights and a dark outline. Above the banner, a family group leans over the rim of a prehistoric stone-and-timber cart: a broad grinning man in an orange spotted tunic, a dark-haired woman in white, a red-haired woman, a blonde woman, a small blonde girl, a dark-haired boy in a green tunic, a blonde boy with a black necktie, an elderly white-haired man, and a scruffy bearded man in a dark wide-brimmed hat and tan shirt. Above them a large green flying reptile with a cream belly carries a purple and white pterodactyl on its back. Around the frame are small vignettes: cavemen with arms outstretched on both sides, a huge yellow speckled egg with a dinosaur hatching out, a stone-age bird with spread wings, a large grey elephant-like beast head top right, and bottom right a wooden signboard above a winged stone monument and a small green car. Dominant colours are orange, tan, red-brown and black-outlined cream.
