The US West Communications logo and "U S WEST Telecard" label appear at the bottom, with colored sidebars in orange, purple, blue, green, and orange respectively, matching the value levels. This five-card set represents a tribute to the sacred artifacts, traditions, and artistry of the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation and the broader heritage of the U.S. West.
