Fleming Era[]
The logo for the Art Fleming version was different from the one used for the Alex Trebek version, and consisted of jumbled letters; shown here was the logo used for the 1964-1975 version.
Trebek Era[]
The logo used for the 1983 pilot using the same logo as Art Fleming's 1978 version.
The logo was changed to its current form when the show returned in syndication in 1984 with Alex Trebek hosting. During Season 1 of the syndicated version, the logo was rotating around a blue globe superimposed on the screen.
In early 1985, the sphere was in light blue and the letters on the sphere became red. This version of the opening lasted into the first two months of Season 2.
The globe intro used during the first two months of Season 3. Yellow letters are on a light blue sphere with black lines divided into squares. It rotates at warp speed.
The globe intro used from November 1986 to July 19, 1991. Yellow letters are on a teal sphere with black lines divided into squares. It rotates at normal speed.
The updated globe intro used during the first two seasons with the grid set. A blue sphere with the gold letters spins around slowly and shatters into pieces as the theme music begins. This was used for the Season 8's camera pan.
The logo used from Season 11 and for the first two months of Season 13. Similar to that of the UK version. (See International Logos)
This globe alternated with the one from Season 11. This was used from Season 12. (Don't tell Universal Studios about this).
The same logo as it appears on the game board. The original globe intro was retired starting with the debut of the sushi bar set on November 11, 1996.
Season 29 Title Card. Similar to Seasons 22 and 26-28. Does that background remind you of the grid set?
Jennings/Bialik Era[]
Seasons 38-40 Title Card. A revised version of Season 37's Title Card. For the first time since Season 13, this Title Card returned for Season 39 with no major updates.
