WOFArt- Sets and Props

Did I read someone say contestant backdrops? Now most of these were done back in 2007 unless noted, so they're a bit out of date here.

1975: (I made the display color-coded because of the Milton Bradley version, although I heard when the show premiered, they were white)


1976: They're now white and will stay that way until 2002.

1978: Six characters can fit inside now instead of five. I don't know about the On Account, however, but I believe it stayed at five.


1980: Sunbursts replace the green disco backdrops.


1985: About 1984 or 1985, the rays' looks change a bit.


1987: By 1987, the rays widen significantly.


1989: After moving from NBC to CBS, the theme is jazzed up and the sunbursts change to shieldy chevrons.


1990: Although these premiered when Wheel went to New York in 1988, these diamond-shaped backdrops were used on the show's default set in 1990 if not 1991.


1992: These fireworks loaded with W's for Wheel debut in September 1992 for the show's 10th syndicated season. Note I dated them as 1993 over at DA.


1995 (Hawaii): Obviously, this one's rather crude and came out of my memory before Hawaiian episodes from this time were uploaded to YouTube.


1996 (Atlanta): For the 1996 Summer Olympics, these torch-shaped backdrops were designed to commemorate this special occasion. Note this was done in late 2008.


2003: I did not made the podiums for 2002, just went ahead to late 2003.


2007: I made these in 2008 as a request from someone over at Fanart Central.


I also made the Polish Wheel backdrops from 1992, though it's not at DeviantArt like I thought it was.


Again, I did these a while back, so please understand. I'll take positive criticism unless it's reiterated numerous times. That will become negative criticism eventually. And of course, please no rude criticism either. I don't put up with that, and I'm certain no one else here does either.

Finally, in case you're wondering why the blue podiums have a higher score than the others, it's because blue is my favorite color as it's the color of Sonic The Hedgehog (yes, The has a captial T as it's his nickname).


Moved images around in post in order to restore normal margin size. This post has otherwise not been modified. -cu

Theese look very nice though i wonder what your version of the sunbursts would look like

Well you can always practice and start at 81 the rays are simple there

Fixed maligned quote.

I have a request, if this is possible. I have been trying to use the wedges provided here to make a wheel of my own to use for my netgames, but, alas, to no avail. I just can't get all the wedges turned the right way. What I am wanting is a wheel where I can zoom in on the contestant's area (i.e. if it's Player 1's turn, zoom in on his/her spot). Like Mario had in his netgame here. I am wanting the current Season 28 wheel configs. Could anyone do that for me? I would really appreciate it!

I can do the puzzle boards for anyone who might like to have one. My best work, I feel is the one I posted a pic of before, but I'm willing to try my hand at the 83-96 board or 97-03 board. Just putting that out there for anyone who might want one.

OK.....so I'm still having the SAME problem. I can't for the life of me get the wedges rotated the right way! They either want to overlap each other OR there's a big gap at the top and they're not the same size! HELP!! please, if anyone can. I'm giving myself a headache over this....

Ahhhh.....that makes sense!! I was just using the rotation handle and the top of each wedge and doing it freehand.....thanks, Mario!

The wedges are a bit too small for that wheel. Each wedge should span a total of four pegs, for three "spaces", so to say (for the MDW, each "Bankrupt" and the million are between two pegs each). Try enlarging the wedges so that they take up three spaces each, and they should then match up with the edge of the wheel.

I'll share what I have so far- the set I'm working on is a sort of "hybrid" between the current set and the old ones.

Puzzleboard:


Contestant area:

(I hate the new score displays...they're so boring...)

I haven't started on a wheel yet (mostly because I'm still coming up with a configuration-again, I intend to do a hybrid of the current one and the older ones), but I don't have the correct font (I have Clarendon, which is close but not quite right), and haven't taken the time to sit down and actually work on it yet.

Pretty nice job! Just resize the wheel a bit more to match up with the pegs better.

Ya know, I think I just might be getting the hang of this wheel making thing..... ;D



What do you guys think?
