What's your favorite WoF Opening & Logo?
« on: June 10, 2009, 09:30:11 AM »
Just wondering... what's your favorite WoF Opening & Logo? Mine is the 92-94 opening. The dancing wedges are hilarious!! I also like the logo from that too!

My favorite is the 1989-92 opening/logo (with the 1992-94 opening/logo a very close second).

Anything that wasn't the 2005-2006 opening.

Or the '92-'94 opening.

The '89 animation is the one I grew up on. Definitely a mark of what I feel was WOF's finest era----its days in Studio 33!

I personally prefer the 1989 CBS opening - the transition from the NBC era (the first few seconds) to a brand-new world (the CBS logo) is breathtaking, although it fell down while the show was at Studio 33.

Needless to say, it still shocks me when I see a syndicated episode with the CBS opening - it doesn't fit at all.

I'll also go with the 1989-92 opening. It blended in very well for those years.

I'd go with the 1992-94 intro; I too enjoyed the well-dressed dancing wedges strutting around the wheel, and it was good of them to keep the previous jazzier version of Changing Keys to accompany it--the very best Wheel theme for me.  During the 10th anniversary season, Charlie's reference thereto added an aura of celebratory glitz to it as well.

The 1989 opening was pretty cool, as was the one from the mid-'90s that had the wedges walking down the stairs.

As for which theme is the best...that's a toss-up (no pun intended) between Big Wheels and the 1989 version of Changing Keys.

Hands down, dancing wedges, and the theme that accompanied that season.


Can't get enough of that sax!

That dancing wedge thing is too cool the $5000 looks like an illusionist.  I was born in 1994 but I like the firework thing it worked until the ugly videowall made it's debut.

"Look at this studio, filled with glamourous prizes, fabulous and exciting merchandise including", ...
Big Wheels was bar far the best theme followed by the original version of Changing Keys. I like the old school standard WOF logo that would come up after Charlie O. would say over $40,000 just waiting to be won today on Wheel of Fortune.

The 1995-1997 opening (when Wheel moved to Sony) is my absolute favorite, as is the theme song, logo, and everything else about the show... that's the era I remember from my childhood the most.
