Full description

A photograph of a backglass in a dark cabinet, with red LED score displays below it. A kneeling nude-looking blonde woman with very long flowing hair sits on a huge glowing orange-red sphere, her hair streaming back like a fiery yellow comet tail with sparkles and a blue-and-red trail. An oval ring in rainbow stripes (yellow, green, blue, purple) loops around the sphere. Along the bottom is a city skyline on the left (tall spired tower, skyscrapers) and a suspension bridge with orange towers on the right, in dusk colours. The sky behind is deep red, orange and teal with stars. The title is in large swirly yellow-orange script with red shading at top left, crossing the ring. A small green-and-yellow logo with an S and the word sonic sits at right. Airbrushed, glossy, very 1980s style.
