Welcome to the boards, Ace! If you look to the page in the thread right before this one (page 26), Mario placed a link to postimage.org. I'll repost it for your convenience, just click right here.That collection actually includes ALL the individual wedges, including cash wedges (normal and glitter), penalty spaces (Bankrupt/Lose a Turn), special wedges (MDW and its flipside, Mystery and its flipsides, Jackpot, Free Play), and tokens (Half Car/Wild Card, with WC being on the second page of the collection). The only thing that isn't there would be gift tags or featured prize wedges, and there are loads of those posted either here or on wheelgenius' DeviantArt account, right here.Hope this helps, and again, welcome to the Buy a Vowel Boards! |

Welcome, A. Before you look at the postimage gallery I made, I actually made a few updates to some of the wedges. I'll post them later tonight.

OK. Here's the new gallery: postimage.org/gallery/8tekqo6/9c5a7e59/ The main differences are: - Top dollar value wedges now use wg's updated vectors and are colored more accurately. - Wild Card is now darker. - MDW (front and back) is now brighter. The following are courtesy of wheelgenius: number vectors, Bankrupt/LAT vectors, 1/2 Car tag, Jackpot, $ on the MDW's reverse, the "$1000" and the outline on the Mystery Wedges Courtesy of SuperKingT: sparkly outline technique, Free Play logo, ? circle on the Mystery Wedge |

Thanks Mario and everyone else for the welcome, and directing me to the appropriate places. These wedges are amazing!  Do wg's vectors work for your wedge templates? I ask because I use glitter paper from an art store for the big money wedges, and don't want to waste color ink on printing out the wedges. Thanks again! I'll post a picture of my wheel once I spruce it up |

The double-width 250 from Wheel 2000. The font (same as the show) is "Hand Drawn" (bold).  |

MarioGS, I can't help but wonder how you found it. For me, I first used a font called Market, and then another called Dom Casual. Now I know the right font to use! Thank you very much! ;D

Cool. All along, I've been trying to figure out what the actual font to the 250 wedge is. I too used "Market". Is it OK if I use that to redo my "Wheel 2000" layouts on DA? I guarantee I'll credit you.

Sure. I recently discovered another Wheel 2000 font, too, but I still have to make the wedge(s).

Great find Mario! Where can I get the font?

MarioGS, I can't help but wonder how you found it. For me, I first used a font called Market, and then another called Dom Casual. Now I know the right font to use! Thank you very much! ;D I took a screenshot from one of the episodes recently posted to YouTube, made it black and white, used the "Brightness/Contrast" changers to roughly isolate the text, then put it through WhatTheFont's font identifier. Usually, it doesn't work well (I tried it with the Letter Launch wedge and got nothing close at all), but for the 250 it worked perfectly. Do wg's vectors work for your wedge templates? I ask because I use glitter paper from an art store for the big money wedges, and don't want to waste color ink on printing out the wedges. Actually, I re-size wg's vectors to work for my wedge template. Are you sure your glitter paper is suitable for printing on? Wouldn't it flake all over the printer's insides? I think you're better off printing the vector on transparent sheets then gluing it on the paper. That's what I did for the big money wedges I made. I made a little template with the vector in a wedge outline colored like the wedge itself and printed it out so I knew where to cut around it. Would you like me to post those? You'll have to let me know the dimensions of your wedges, though. |

Oh, I've used a font-identifying site myself so that makes sense. I think it was WhatTheFont. I wanted to find the font in Australia's elder Surprise wedge, and the font used was Revue BT.

I tried WhatTheFont for the "www.wheel2000.com" wedge, but no luck. I was wondering if anyone could do that wedge.

I'm thinking about changing up my wheel... AGAIN  It's still gonna be the same Season 30 wheel with my mods but I want to change the font. I want to use Continuum Bold for the fonts on the wheel (all wedges not just dollar values) so if someone could create a sample wedge that would be great. I'd hate to have someone make the entire wedge package and then I not like it. |

Lovin' that Continuum Bold aren't you? How's these?    Yes, I know, $620 isn't an actual amount. I did that so you could see how the curvature of different numbers look when they get smaller. |

They look so good! The only thing I can think of is to maybe make the gap between the shadow a bit smaller. Maybe make the numbers a teeny-weeny (no offense Pat) bit smaller |
