Not bad all around, but I'd rather have the current font. What the font?! More like "how the font" Dafont?

Dafont is an actual font website. ;D

Just downloaded the Bonus Envelopes--they're sweet! I was just wondering what the font is for the envelopes themselves? I'm printing up car envelopes using the blank templates.

Hey Mario, is it okay if you can post a blank black wedge?

About the 'www.wheel2000.com' wedge from "Wheel 2000", I found the font. It's called "Gravicon".

Fantastic find, Wheelgenius! I guess it goes to show how much of a team all of us are here!

Do we know what all of the WOF 2000 fonts are, or are some of them still unknown?

This is all I could break down.
"250" - Hand Drawn (Commercial font. No free version to be found, I believe) "THE CREATURE" - Cat Women (same goes for the "MONSTER HEADS" wedge) "WWW.WHEEL2000.COM/750" - Gravicon "PRIZE/100" - Circled (not exactly) Point values - Jester Top point values/"DOUBLE UP" - Bodidly Bold
I don't know the exact font for the "LOSER" wedge, which is why I did it by hand. Same went for the "Wheel 2000" logo on the prize box.

Found another font. This time, the one used for the top values and the "500" on the Double Up wedge: Bodoni Highlight. "Double Up" itself is Bodoni Black, which is already installed on most computers. If you plan on downloading Bodoni Highlight, be careful. One of the Google results for it is from a site called ufonts (actually with the Greek letter "mu", not a u. The forums don't display it right. Think "utorrent"), which tries to install unwanted software and possibly even viruses. Stay away from that site.

Should be uploading the pictures soon--just took some really cool shots. I've been having a blast using all of your guys' custom wedges, especially Marios' four-digit values. A request for Mario: could you do the Free Play in the different colors like you did before, but with the white $500 below it, like the light blue one you posted awhile back? Thanks! ;D As always keep up the excellent work!

Sure thing. May I ask which 4-digit wedges (in terms of colors and amounts) you're using besides the top dollar values? Because since wheelgenius improved his top dollar vectors, I combined them with his other 4-digit ones and revamped my wedges with those amounts.

I downloaded all of the ones you provided--but to keep from going super overboard, I'm only currently using the green, yellow and pink $1,000 wedges to replace their $500 counterparts [the 500 nearest the TDV, not the one next to the pink $900]. I'm also using the double-wide $1,000 and the $25,000 wedge. I'm taking pictures right now--so I'll have those posted really soon!

Hey All-- Finally able to show off my homemade wheel. This is the larger version that I use on special occasions and at parties. I have a 14" tabletop one that is similar and used regularly. This one is a 36" wheel, mounted to a table bought at Goodwill. The Lazy-Susan mechanism was bought at Ace, and I went through two of them before connecting it correctly on the third try (the table added a bit of a challenge. The layout is in one piece and was accomplished by printing out all of the wedges Mario provided, and gluing them side-by-side on two sheets of poster board until it made a complete circle; it's held in place on the wheel itself by duct tape, so it can easily be changed out. I hope you enjoy the little tweaks I added thanks to everyone's custom wedges. I've had that KFC gift tag for three years and haven't changed it yet, ;D but I will! P.S. All of the TDV wedges are made from printouts glued onto glitter paper bought at JoAnn's (they have a better selection and quality than Michael's IMO). Normal Layouts: Bare- Round 1- Mystery Round- Round 3- (yeah right ;D) Customized tweaks: Double $1,000 Wedge- $1,000 Wedges added- $25k- EDIT: updated picture with Mario's new $1k wedges. Btw Mario, could we get those in blue and purple? I was thinking of an alternative layout where the pink and green 500's are kept, but the blue 350 and purple 500 are replaced with 1,000 wedges.

Looks pretty good. Just one little thing I noticed. I think your dollar sign is upside down on the $2500 wedge.

Lol! I didn't even notice that. I'll keep that in as a running joke ;D

Great work, Ace! I wish I could spin it! The glitter paper wedges turned out very nice. Here are blue and purple $1000 wedges.
