Faux-Thentic Pop Art Sticker/Graphic

This item is a digital graphic or sticker featuring a bold, pop art aesthetic with elements inspired by classic arcade games. The central motif consists of the word 'Fauxthentic' rendered in a stylized, bubbly yellow font with a white outline and light blue drop shadow, giving it a three-dimensional effect. Below the text, a vibrant red mouth with sharp, fang-like teeth and a pink tongue extended to the side is depicted, reminiscent of the Rolling Stones' logo but with a more aggressive, exaggerated look. To the right of the mouth, a two-toned capsule-shaped pill, colored yellow and light blue with a white outline, appears to be in motion, indicated by white speed lines behind it. The entire composition is set against a dark, possibly black, background that is intricately designed with a light blue maze pattern, strongly echoing the classic Pac-Man arcade game. Within this maze, several small yellow dots are scattered, along with a few ghost-like figures and what appears to be a representation of Pac-Man itself, all rendered in shades of yellow and light blue, consistent with the retro gaming theme. The colors are highly saturated and distinct, typical of pop art and graphic design intended for high visual impact. There are no visible condition issues as this appears to be a digital image, and thus no wear, damage, or repairs are applicable. The style period is contemporary, likely early 21st century, drawing heavily on 20th-century pop art and 1980s arcade culture. The craftsmanship is evident in the crisp lines, clean color separation, and effective mimicry of beloved cultural icons, indicating a professional level of graphic design.
