Fingerprint: world challenge soccer - oversized scuffed white-and-black football dominating center, goalkeeper diving horizontally in red jersey reaching for ball, deep green grass pitch with stadium at night, WORLD / Challenge / SOCCER in gold block letters on tilted red-and-gold plaque with small football emblem, airbrushed photographic style
A single oversized, scuffed white-and-black football dwarfing a goalkeeper who dives horizontally across the grass, his legs trailing left in white shorts and black socks with white hoops. The word SOCCER in fat gold block letters on a tilted red-and-gold plaque at top left, with a small gold football emblem in that plaque's top right corner. The diving keeper's red jersey and outstretched arms reaching towards the ball, rendered in an airbrushed photographic style rather than cartoon. A yellow script maker's logo with a red star sitting on the grass at bottom right.

A painted football scene filling a backglass, in an airbrushed photographic style. The background is a stadium at night: dark blue-black tiered stands along the top, a pale blue sky band, a white goal net and white goal frame at upper right. Most of the lower two-thirds is a deep green grass pitch with visible mowing texture. A huge scuffed white-and-black classic football sits centre-right on the turf, rendered as an oversized sphere with dirt streaks. A goalkeeper dives horizontally across the lower left in mid-air, shown from behind with his head cropped: legs trailing left in white shorts, black socks with three white hoops and black boots, torso in a red jersey, arms outstretched towards the ball. At upper right a second player's white-sleeved arm and open hand reach in from off-frame. A tilted red rectangular plaque with a gold border and bevelled gold frame sits at the top left, carrying chunky gold-and-orange block lettering with black outline and drop shadow reading WORLD / Challenge / SOCCER, with a small gold football emblem at the plaque's top right. A yellow italic script logo with a red star inside its initial letter sits at the bottom right over the grass. A fine white copyright line runs along the lower left edge.
