^ Looking great (as always)!
Now, how about the white logo with a black borderline as was shown during the Chuck Woolery era intros?

Wheelgenius, that GIF you made is amazing! It must have taken you quite some time. I have made updates to the classic board. Main game:  I added the classic steps. Of course, this is the 12-14-14-12 pattern without the corner tiles. I wouldn't bother changing the board layout. The more possible letters, the better, right? ;D And here's one for the Bonus Round. Thanks to wheelgenius for the classic logo.  |

Roger!  It sure has taken me time. Plus, I see you made the shadows on the board, as well as the WOF spotlight. Neato! ;D And here's an orange one from around 1982.  Consecutive posts merged. |

^ Wow! Excellent work! The wheel at the base had a different configuration on the show, but since episodes in good quality from that era haven't been seen in the longest time, we'll probably never know the real thing.
Wheelgenius, do you ever plan on updating your retro nighttime wheels in your DA gallery so that some of the numbers are in the current font, as seen above?

You mean something like these? These are the versions I used in my netgame, based on the current set. Is there any way for anyone to create a similar red/yellow/blue indicator podium, but based on the classic contestant podiums? Right now, I am focusing on the 1985 or 1986 era (around that vicinity). Like, have the red flashing indicator appearing on top of the image, same for yellow and blue for their corresponding images. Is it possible for them to be aligned evenly with a 360-degree wheel? Removed quoted images. |

Thanks to MarioGS for finding the font, here's my bonus puzzle. See how I edited the "N" as seen on the actual board. 15 seconds. Talk it out. Good luck.  This puzzle would take place in a time before the letters R, S, T, L, N, and E were given out for free. |

That's it!  And anyone who wants to use these letter tiles, here's a set.  The only letters I edited are the "G" and "N". Should there be any editing on any other letters? Consecutive posts merged. |

Well, the "N" only lacked a serif in the upper-left corner during most of the Chuck era. When the 4-row board debuted, the N had a new serif. The "A" did not have a serif on top. The tail of the "J" did not curve upwards nor did it have a serif. It only curved downward, the stops, like the Rockwell "J." Plus, the show's "J" dropped lower than most of the other letters, practically to the bottom of the tile. Other than that, everything looks great! ;D I had a feeling I made my letters too big. Oh well.  |

Updated set.  Update: Letters narrowed, and "Q" updated. |

Actually, the "Q" in both sets are not exactly like the original Q's during the classic board era. The original Q had a curvy tail on the bottom of the oval, and the updated Q (introduced in the early 1990's) was more a short diagonal line through the lower-right corner of the letter "O". Other than that, the letters are fine!
One improvement could be made on the "S" - it could be made a bit slimmer, similar to the classic puzzle board era.
And wheelgenius, where can I get the font that you used in the "category name" of your Minnesota Twins image?
And to say how impressed to see a thread like this first created in 2009, and didn't get past the first page until this past April and this thread went through 19 pages out of 20 in a matter of just a few weeks! Must be a hot thread for sure!
