'''Logo:''' An in-credit text that says:
 
<center>{{Huge|'''KING WORLD</br>Productions, Inc.'''}}</center>
 
'''Variants:'''
*From November 1983-1984, this text is superimposed on the wheel on ''Wheel of Fortune'', while the wheel spins.
*On the 1983 pilot of ''Jeopardy!'', the text said "Distributed by KING WORLD, Inc."
*On the 2nd ''Jeopardy!'' pilot from January 8, 1984, the text appears on a {{color|blue}} background with white lettering.
 
'''Technique:''' None.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' The end title theme from the respective show with one of the following announcer spiels:
*Jack Clark on ''Wheel of Fortune'' from 1983-84: "''Wheel of Fortune'' is a Merv Griffin Production. Distributed by King World Productions, Inc."
*Carol Bilger on ''The Merv Griffin Show'': "''The Merv Griffin Show'' is a Merv Griffin Production in association with and is distributed by King World Productions, Inc."
*Jay Stewart from the 1st ''Jeopardy!'' pilot in 1983: "This has been a Merv Griffin Production! Distributed by King World, Inc."
*Johnny Gilbert from the 2nd ''Jeopardy!'' pilot in 1984: "This has been a Merv Griffin Production. Distributed by King World Productions."
 
'''Availability:''' Ultra rare.
*This logo debuted on the Barry & Enright production ''Soapworld'', and was also seen on ''The Merv Griffin Show'', the first syndicated season of ''Wheel of Fortune'', and the first two pilots of ''Jeopardy!''.
*When GSN re-aired ''Wheel of Fortune'' a decade ago, this in-credit text was intact on some episodes. However, this would get plastered by either the 1994 or 1997 CTT logo with Jack Clark announcing "Distributed by" and then would cut to Charlie O'Donnell's voice saying "[[Sony Pictures Television|Columbia TriStar Television]]" while the CTT theme is playing. Regardless, the pilot episodes won't be airing on TV anytime soon.
*This was also seen on the second pilot of ''Jeopardy!'' on Pluto TV.

* The B&W variant made an appearance on a TCM UK airing of ''The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes'' (1939), as most Holmes films on TCM use the 1995 [[CBS Broadcast International]] logo instead. It also appeared on an August 12, 1989 KOIN 6 airing of the Sherlock Holmes movie "The Scarlet Claw."
