I got a question for some of my fellow Wheel artists such as MarioGS and wheelgenius . Have any of your works been featured on official sources, such as on TV shows, whether or not you were credited? As far as I know, I had it happen to me twice so far, although I was credited neither time. The first time was in 2014 when the Turkish version was revived. It was featured as an edible cake graphic in a trailer promoting the return. Here's the original illustration made back in June of 2010. I've recently updated it to a higher resolution PNG image. germanname.deviantart.com/art/Carkifelek-1992-166228497The second time was back on Tuesday. Tuesday's episode of Daily Mail TV had a section about game show winners, something I wanted to tape. Although it was short and focused primarily on Deal or No Deal's first millionaire Jessica Robinson. Even so, the intro to the segment featured a picture related to Wheel of Fortune. Then, it suddenly hit me. This wasn't just any old Wheel of Fortune picture. This was my 2012 recreation of the Season 30 layout! I uploaded it to Wikipedia within hours of Season 30 premiering and then to DeviantArt about three months later. It has since been used numerous times. germanname.deviantart.com/art/30th-Anniversary-Game-Today-4-344243211What happened on Tuesday inspired me to create this thread. Boy, am I glad I taped Tuesday's episode of Daily Mail TV!

They let the Mail on TV in the US? Certainly must make you quite proud to have your work featured in Official works and just regular TV! I expect the lack of credit is a bit annoying, but it must be great to know that your work is being noticed, even if very few other people know it's yours.

One of my "Road Trip Week" Wheel layouts was used in a Las Vegas WOF promo sometime in 2011, or 2012. I was honored, although I wasn't given any credit.

I'm really sorry for posting this in a wrong thread. My laptop can't make threads. It's so slow. Um, can someone help me make a Free Play wedge that is like the old Free Spin wedge but the wedge is in green, the "FREE" is in yellow and the "PLAY" is in white?

I can relate. Do you all remember when a kid with Cerebral Palsy had his Halloween Costume go viral? The layout him and his family used was one of my earlier works.

I think it's safe to say that my 2012 recreation of the Season 30 Round 4 layout is my most popular illustration. Folks at Instagram have been using it, and then you have this 2015 magazine signed by Pat Sajak himself. www.ebay.com/itm/144245686705

You must be honored, seeing your work used on that magazine cover.

I sure do. Even so, I'm not going to get the magazine for personal reasons, but if someone wants it, go for it.
Now not to go off topic at least too much, the Turkish illustration I made in 2010 has been very popular in Turkey before and since its 2014 use as a cake graphic. A few years ago, I saw it being used in a whole bunch of slime videos. At first, I was at a complete loss as to what to think, but then I realized the very thing that had been staring me in the face the whole time. Even if the illustration is being used for a purpose that I hadn't intended it to be used for, if people are having fun with them, I'll still take it. As much as I would love to be credited, it's still nice seeing my work get put to good use. Ultimately, the reason why I continue to make these illustrations fifteen years after making my first illustrations is so people can have fun with them, whether those who use them know me or not.
Now I am planning on making a fifteen-year anniversary special over at YouTube soon, and in the special, I will show off some of my favorite and most iconic Wheel illustrations by year from 2007 onwards. It's a sure bet my 2012 Round 4 layout and 1992 Turkish layout will be shown. In fact, to prove to others that it was me who made these illustrations, I will show the original Microsoft Publisher files used to make them.
