Wheel Of Fortune 2013

Contents Season Changes. The logo again returns to the traditional style, although the Wheel inside the logo is removed. Rather, the words 'WHEEL OF FORTUNE' are placed on a Wheel consisting of colored wedges (in orange, purple, green, red, yellow, and blue) with 'OF' in the center and the dots on the sides. On various weekly promos, the aforementioned Wheel has its colored wedges in a true pattern of yellow, red, orange, purple, blue, and green. The wedges are also darker in hue. The intro is changed to a cityscape with an amusement park that includes such rides as a Ferris wheel and a roller coaster, with searchlights crisscrossing in the background.

As the camera travels, the lights of the buildings turn on. During this part of the intro, Jim says 'From the Sony Pictures Studios, it's America's Game.' , then the graphics fade into a CGI Sony Pictures Studios complex and through the open gates, with a photo of Pat, Vanna, and the two-row logo on both sides. The complex's lights turn on as before, as the camera travels in on a video screen showing the logo in the back. After the 'Wheel! Chant (in which each word shines as said), the logo zooms in on the 'O' in 'of', as Jim continues with 'Ladies and gentlemen, here are the stars of our show: Pat Sajak and Vanna White!' (as was the case from 1996-2001).

Wheel Of Fortune 2013 Episodes

During America's Game weeks, the animated intro from Season 23 featuring the African-American family cleaning up after dinner is used, coming complete with the last bar of the then-current introductory fanfare. The ending, however, is updated: the console television is replaced with an HDTV showing the Season 31 title card, and Jim's 'It's America's Game!' Announcement is edited in.

Additionally, the Season 31 logo, unlike the Season 23 wordmark before it, does not zoom towards the camera on the television: instead, it zooms out of the television to reveal the set, so the final shot of the family applauding is omitted. The Wheel is altered again:. The purple $550 is dropped to $500, retiring the former. The Million-Dollar Wedge moves to the pink $500, with the Gift Tag moving from there to the aforementioned purple $500. Despite this change, the wedge still does not award any money. The Jackpot Wedge is retired. The Express Wedge is introduced, placed on the red $700 in Round 3.

Wheel Of Fortune

If a contestant opts to 'hop aboard the Express', the shot of that player shrinks down to a square window insert, with the same border color as the player's display/arrow, in the bottom-right corner with the puzzle board on the rest of the screen (similarly to the Bonus Round).
