The image was altered to show each member as a sort of fictional version of himself. For instance, Rivers was given a raised hand giving the 'metal' symbol and devil horns, Brian was adorned with antennae to become an alien (or perhaps bug?) and a Star Trek shirt, and Pat was shown as a disheveled bum. Scott, upon replacing Mikey, was transformed into a Mexican bandito. Also, the words ''Goat Punishment'' were depicted in the classic [[Century Gothic]] font. Additionally, a mock-up Flying =GP= was designed, a take-off of their classic [[Flying =W=]] logo. This in turn led the band to fashion a light-up metal =GP= for the stage. | ||
