[quote name=\'clemon79\' post=\'229096\' date=\'Oct 23 2009, 10:36 AM\']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.[/quote]

Seconded. For practicality's sake, the neon "Card Sharks" from Perry's version would be mighty nifty. Although a giant word balloon with "Whew!" on it could find a use somewhere.

And when did "The Price Is Right" ever have a red dollar sign?

[quote name=\'Fedya\' post=\'229085\' date=\'Oct 23 2009, 09:01 AM\']Didn't Bruce Forsyth's Hot Streak have a similar sign?[/quote]

Something like that...they had a gigantic sign that displayed how much money a team had just won in the bonus round, or how much was won up to that point. It would also flash dollar signs during the credits.

Courtesy of YouTube and chrisivision07, here's said sign from the last segment of the finale. The numbers are usually a lot clearer to see than that, though.

Can I just get the SEX part of the sign from "The Better Sex"?
This isn't a plug, but you can ask me about my book.

Oh, let's face it, the incandescent bulbs on that thing would be the closest a lot of us get to hot sex.

Seconded., with the neon Super Password sign which hovers over the Alphabetics round a close second -- both would look great in a bar surrounded by  all the other neon beer signs.

Then again, that tiffany-style Liars Club "Lampshade" would look good in a room with a high ceiling! :)

This; if not available, I'd happily take the Password Plus sign (or even the Alphabetics one).

As of 1986, that lampshade still existed. It was on the floor(!) of Larry Hovis's production office waiting room. You can keep the Password Plus logo. It looked like a handwritten scrawl. Whoever drew the logo on the home game is a true artist who made it look as if it might be a font.

Anyway, I'd go with the Concentration logo of Narz's head because I like it and I don't think anybody else would want it.

I'll take the Scrabble sign.

What constitutes a Pyramid logo? If it's the title plaque in front of Dick's lectern, I'd take that, but I'd rather have the sign with the dollar amount that went over the actual pyramid.

Now that sign looks familiar. Is that not the same sign used for the dollar amounts on 50 Grand Slam?

The glittery $100,000 Name That Tune sign that used to be raised up from the floor (IIRC) on Kennedy's version.

Ah, you're right. Now that I compare both from Youtube clips, 50 Grand Slam's sign is MUCH bigger:

They do look rather similar, though, apart from the size.
