Clubhouse was a 2004 TV series in which a young boy gets his dream job of being batboy for his favorite big league team, finding out that behind-the-scenes isn't as wonderful as what he'd expected. Hilarity, or something, ensued for a handful of episodes.

Around this period, the well-respected firm Imaginary Forces had a number of lovely high-profile titles and key-art pieces everywhere, and so for some reason, I decided to emulate what was becoming a stylistic habit for I.F.: dark, layered, blue glowing stuff. This was before I had a chance to see any of the footage from the show itself, so I had no idea what the emotional tone was going to be. And despite the loss-of-innocence angle the plot held, the show had a bright, cheery, ain't-baseball-still-grand aura about it that this dark, slick vision simply didn't convey.
