'''''Wheel of Fortune'' Variants:''' ''Wheel of Fortune'' used different custom variations of this logo:
*Late 1983/early-February 1984: Standard logo. It uses the Califon copyright stamp below the MGP name.
*Late 1983/early-February 1984: Standard logo. It uses the Califon copyright stamp below the MGP name.
*February 27, 1984-1987: A still version of this logo placed onto an art card. The border of the box is {{Font color|silver|silver}} instead of {{Font color|deepskyblue|sky blue}} and the sides are pretty close to the griffin. The company's name and a Califon Productions, Inc. copyright stamp below it are in a {{Font color|silver|silver}} Peignot font (as seen on the 1971 [[Viacom (1952-2006)|Viacom]] logo and the [[MTM Enterprises|MTM]] logo). Some 1985 episodes of the 1984-1985 season have this logo borderless. Plus, several 1984-1985 episodes have the copyright stamp say "{{Font color|silver|'''CAliFON PRODUCTiON, INC.'''}}" Starting in the 1985-1986 season, the company name and the copyright stamp are {{Font color|dodgerblue|pacific blue}} instead of {{Font color|silver|silver}}. On December 22, 1986, the Coca-Cola byline is placed under the MGE name in the same byline setup as the 1986-1987 [[Embassy Communications]] logo in {{Font color|red|red}}, with "{{Font color|red|'''''Coca-Cola'''''}}" in its signature font and "{{Font color|red|'''''The'''''}}" and "{{Font color|red|'''''Company'''''}}" in Loki Cola. The name and logo are smaller and shifted up to place the byline under. A few December 1986 and January 1987 episodes show a close up of the text with the 1986-1987 Coca-Cola byline that zooms back to reveal the picture of the griffin. Later 1987 episodes revert to the still image.
