Thanks, Kori and pricemodel!  I was kind of waffling about that $500, but the only colors I had available at the time were blue (the current resident), yellow (already elsewhere on the wheel), and green (which, as I try it out, also looks odd near the $1,000 in Round 1). If anyone has a purple $500 laying around or can whip one up, I'd be happy to make that adjustment. I hate to make so many wedge requests in such a short span, but I'm more of a designer than an artist - it's about all I can do to get these wedges aligned properly half the time...  |

It's no problem. Wedges are pretty easy for me to do thanks to the vectors wheelgenius provided.  |

That wedge is more beautiful than your average wedge. Is it me or does purple and $500 really go together?  |

It has been discovered that the serif on the "2" is shorter than I thought, so here are my versions of the $250 wedges posted. And if you want, I'll post the vector.   |

I have a request. Can somebody make a $2,500, $3,500, and $5,000 wedge in yellow? (not sparkling)

I've been seeing too many requests. "Can somebody post this?, Can somebody post that?" You got it!    And here's a bonus.  Happy now? |

For those wheels, dad90, if all the wedges were the same exact size, which not all are, Publisher would be a good program to use. Just rotate each wedge 15 degress, as 15 times 24 is 360, the number of degrees for a circle.
I myself do not even have Photoshop, but for those who don't have Photoshop yet still have Microsoft Office, I have a YouTube tutorial of how to make a simple Wheel of Fortune illustration if anyone would like to see it.

dad90, germanname's tutorial, using only Publisher and MS Paint, is great and quite simple if you want a pretty straightforward wheel, but if you want your wheels to look more like the show's, then Photoshop is the ideal program to use primarily. If you don't have Photoshop, there are plenty of "clones" out there for free. I recommend Paint.NET. It's very similar to Photoshop, and I find it more user-friendly. It's been a while since I last made a full wheel, but maybe someday I'll make a tutorial.

. . . I recommend Paint.NET. . . . I'd second that. If you've ever seen any of my wheels, I use Inkscape to design all the numbers and Paint.NET (or soon to be paint.net) to rotate the numbers, style them a little, and add the background color. . . . It's very similar to Photoshop, . . . And free too. ;D |

There is a 1983-86 wedge pack somewhere in the thread - page 3, a third of the way down, to be precise. Since it starts from '83, it's missing some of the odd amounts from the earliest days (650, 850, and the more exotic ones), but it's the only set I know of from the earth-tone era.
As for the red $900, I don't have one either. Actually, that's why I've shied away from putting red $900s on my wheels (unless they're already there) because of the patches on that one. There's a little bit on the red $800 and $300 too, but it's not nearly as noticeable.

Here's a new gag prize I made based on a recent TPIR prize and a joke Kev made in chat.   Call a right letter, solve the puzzle, and you or your loved one will own 365 pairs of shoes! *Closet not included |

Hello everyone! I'm building my own Wheel replica for my Game Show Club at school. The only thing really stopping me from finishing it are the wedges. I would really appreciate it if anyone could post the individual wedges from the current Round 4 wheel so that way I can resize them in Microsoft Word. I hope it's not too much to ask.
