Another fifteen years or so, with global warming as it is, this one might become "City In The Bay".

Here's the first visual look at the Free Play wedge.

Even if it turns out to be a bomb, it cannot be denied that that is one good looking wedge. Props to the Wheel crew on keeping the "Free" font from the old Spin.

Actually, yeah it can. Bright friggin' blue with a little writing at the top? Unless they're planning on selling that blue space as an adspons space (like they do with the Jackpot), it's a waste of space.

(And even then, adspons on the wheel really illustrates everything that is wrong with that show.)

Maybe it's me, but that looks really obviously photoshopped.

I'd "love" it if it was in sparky Free Spin disk green and if the "PLAY" was vertical.

Reminicent of the oooold brown Free Spin from back in the day.

I am intrigued by your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

The technical details interest neither me nor most of America. It still looks like wasted space.

I'm not knocking you for providing the information. I'm saying that to the viewer at home, the information doesn't *matter*, the final product does.

I don't care if that thing has a Flux Capacitor in it. if it's leaving behind wasted space that makes the design look chintzy, then

Potentially fun fact: The font used for "PLAY", Eight Track, was also used for the Whammy! logo.

That's just what I had in mind for that wedge, only the background should be a nice, glittery blue like the $2500 space in Round 1 & the "PLAY" font should be like the number fonts on the wheel. Keep that yellow "Free" font, it keeps the feel of the old Free Spin disc intact.
