Self-explanatory. Answer and explain. Personally, I liked the multiple template system better. It allowed for more variety of values and made the show more interesting as it progressed. The $1,500 wedge in Round 4 was pretty exciting  (Yes, I'm a big fan of that wedge, though $2,000 will make me happy too.) |

I liked the multiple template system better, because the stakes got higher as the game went on.
The single-template system is still workable, but it needs some moderate adjustment - like getting rid of some of the extra $300s and $500s. A nice $750, $1,000, or $1,500 would be nice to see back.

I like the single template, but the 300's and 500's should take a permenant vacation and be replaced with 400's and 700's, that would help.

Multi-template, since the wedges actually moved around and you had more than one regular four-digit wedge.

This was a tough call for me, but I decided to go with Multi-template, because of the variety of colors on the Wheel--especially that old Round 3 template that was so colorful.

No doubt the mutliple-template system. Too add to that, the color schemes used since 1996 were a bit too bright to me. I liked the bold colors used from 1986-1996. It had a perfect mix of dark and bright colors.

To me, I went with the single template. It looks nice today, but I also think that some of the $300 need to be done away with and I agree w/ the amounts that Scott suggested. $1,500 was the best non top dollar value during the early years.

OK, other than germanname, who else thinks the colors for the one-template system are too bright?

For 1996-2006, I say the problem is less that they're too bright and more that they're too pastel. The breaking it up with the blue spaces makes me happy, but I like the 1986-1996 scheme the best.

OK, other than germanname, who else thinks the colors for the one-template system are too bright? I don't. It's a major improvement over the previous color scheme, IMO. It was too autumn-y. We didn't need two shades of orange. Plus, I'm glad that they have green and blue now instead of just a teal color. It balances the colors better. On the main topic, I would definitely go with the multi-template system. The stakes got higher thanks to secondary 4-digit values and there was more variety in value arrangement, plus I liked how 5000 was the perfect distance between Bankrupt and Lose a Turn. |

I prefered the multi-template. I enjoy having variety. I also enjoy having the stakes raise up per round. I do think that the single template would be better if the values were raised.

I thought it was the color scheme from 1975-1986 that was too autumn-y. The only colors I remember there are orange, brown, yellow, and blue. I don't think red came until the nighttime show debuted (anyone want to confirm?). As for teal, green and blue; it was hard for awhile differentiating teal and blue when the one-template system debuted. For example, the $300 where the Free Spin sat is teal, but I always called the $500 near that second Bankrupt as blue (that's what it looked like to me) rather than teal. |

Yes, the pre-1986 scheme was even more autumn-y, but part of that reason was they couldn't use any wedges close to the color of the wheel's center because of the chroma-key shots. Still, they should have kept the '89-'96 scheme with the single template.
Red was always on the wheel, including the Edd Byrnes pilot and the first official daytime episode.

I liked the mutliple-template system better, as it provided for a wider variety of dollar amounts as the game progressed. However, there are some improvements that could be implemented with the single template system, such as placing a higher non-TDV dollar amount (non-sparkly) over an existing amount as the game progresses (much like how the sparkly green $1000 was placed over the non-sparkly yellow $1000 on the 1996 single template) (and I'm not talking about the Mystery wedges, or placing the Top-Dollar-Value over the completely blank space on the current template either!)
