[quote name=\'Mike Tennant\' date=\'Mar 21 2005, 11:30 AM\']While we're on the subject of logos, I always found it interesting that MB used the Ferranti-Packard Feud logo rather than the cross-stitched "sampler"-type logo used at the top of the show.

I can think of two reasons for this:

1.  It fit on the box better.

2.  Audiences were more familiar with it because they saw it throughout the show.

Other thoughts?

Perhaps MB thought it would be easier to read. I know that doesn't make too much sense, but it's just my speculation. Come to think of it, I can think of a couple of MB games that didn't use the show logo, so perhaps it was a copyright issue with the show, esp. since the show's "official" logo was the sampler one.

Beat the Clock by Milton Bradley had a pleasing cover but no as good as the others I listed earlier.
