If you could have your local sign company make a sign (being that it actually lights up) of any game show logo, what would it be and why?

GO!  Budgetary reasons and I liked the show.

I'd want one of the "Match Game 7_" signs ... or really, even the unlit 6x one, which would hang down overhead at the start of each show.  Just because MG is a perennial fave of mine.

The old "$25,000" sign from Wheel. White light bulbs OR the green one.

EDIT: Wait, that's not really a logo...ooh. The Password Plus logo. Because it looks so damn funky.

Would the Jeopardy logo from '91-'96 be asking too much?

I wouldn't say so. I wonder how tall those letters are (or were) in person...

IIRC, ginormous. Somebody bought the Y alone at auction, and it was pretty massive.

I would take either the Super Password neon logo from the Bonus Game display, the neon spinning Joker from "The Joker's Wild", or the old neon "Barker's Bargain Bar" sign.

The sign used to open NBC Concentration for a time. It was a series of mini trilons, each with a letter on it, which would rotate to expose the word "CONCENTRATION" to the accompaniment of Milton Kaye on the celesta.

Probably The Price Is Right in white letters with the old red $ next to it on a black background.  That's how I saw it lit up at night on a sign or billboard or whatever it is down a country road around these parts in south Jersey back in the early 1970's(I wanna say 1974 but I might be off by a year or two).

I'd also say the spinning neon Joker from the early-80s...either that or the PYL logo (the small one from the back of the contestant island).

Didn't Bruce Forsyth's Hot Streak have a similar sign?

I'd probably have to go with the 2nd version Match Game sign (cuz then I don't need to order a new one with the year change.  :-P).

And I know at least one person on here wants a Classic Concentration sign...

Come to think of it, I don't remember Hot Streak having any signage at all aside from the chyroned logo at the top of the show.
