To those who requested the puzzle board from the 1970's, here they are. Lights off Lights on Here's one with the puzzle. Based on a 1980 episode with Tom Kennedy playing as contestant. The category font is not exact. I used Andale Mono since it's one of the monospace fonts I have. One other thing. Please don't rush me to do the contestant backdrops. I will do when I have time.

I can imagine the show having that configuration if it were on in the 19th century. Here's the new Prize Puzzle graphic:

Gotham Black, the same font used for the current category strip and Bonus Round chyron.

Wow Mario!! That looks wickedly cool! Do you think maybe thy you can make the "Prize Puzzle" graphic used last season? Once again, I am completely blown over! Keep up the awesome work that you contribute!

Here's my best effort at a replica of the OFFICIAL two-row logo. I studied which letters from both SF Fortune Wheel and Chesty were closest to the logo and made slight modifications if necessary. The lowercase "f" was the hardest part. Plus, I had already made the wheel "o" for the site, so I wanted to put it to another good use. EDIT: SEE REAL WHEELS FOR OFFICIAL VERSION!If you see all black, click it and you should be able to see it.

Not bad on the official WOF logo, Mario! ;D

Hmm. I always thought that the white spaces in the first O were wedge shapes, not teardrop shapes.

It depends. In some versions of the two-row logo, the spaces are rectangle-shaped, like the logo used in the current lottery promotions, plus the lowercase "f" doesn't curve near the bottom, it's a corner like Chesty's "f" (Chesty is what I used for the header of this site). In other versions, such as the ones used during Season 26 and 27, the spaces are teardrop shaped. They're pretty much only wedges in the unofficial SF Fortune Wheel font.

Great news. I finally found the font used for the scores! It's called "Univers 85 Extra Black", though it needs to be squashed. Download it here.

How about this? The classic Merv Griffin Productions closing logo from the 1970's. This one used on "Jeopardy!" from 1978 through 1979. Here's the MGP logo used on WOF from the 1980. If you guys ask how I did the "griffin", I used the clearest screenshot of the logo, and carefully drew over a layer with Photoshop, then added the "stroke" and "color overlay" effect.

Here's something that hasn't been requested that I'd like to see: if anyone is willing to do it, can someone create all of the nametags (blank if you please) used over the years? I am creating a game and I need nametags and I am bad at making things. So, if anyone does it, I am eternally grateful. Thanks a lot and keep up the fantastic work !

I know that cu has made the current ones because we staffers have used them as avatars before. Mario made the 90s ones for me, but they are attached to the 1992-1996 contestant podiums. I posted a picture earlier in this thread. It's toward the beginning if I'm not mistaken.

Not only that, but if you look closely at them on TV, it's a sparkly outline.

Really? Wow, I never noticed that. Since we're on the topic of nametags I might as well ask a question: What are the tags made of? Is it plastic, metal, etc...
