platforms featured host Pat sagic and Vanna White standing in front of a revamped set that boasted a more contemporary feel the iconic puzzle board had been given a Digital Makeover with sharper brighter displays that made the letters pop with an almost three-dimensional effect the classic wheel too had been updated with a glossier finish and enhanced lighting that made it Shimmer under the studio lights for many fans this modernization was a welcome change after all Wheel of Fortune has been on the air since 1975 and while the show has seen numerous tweaks and upgrades over the decades the core design had remained largely the same the new set with its cuttingedge technology and streamline Aesthetics felt like a Natural Evolution for a show that has continued to Captivate audiences for nearly 50 years this is exactly what the show needed one fan exclaimed in the comments section the new set looks amazing so bright and modern it's like Wheel of Fortune has finally stepped into the 21st century another fan echoed the sentiment saying I love how they've kept the essence of the show but made it feel fresh and new the new puzzle board is especially cool it's going to make watching the game even more exciting however not everyone was as enthusiastic about the changes amidst the flurry of positive comments there were also a number of fans who were less than impressed with one particular aspect of the new set a prop that in their eyes fell short of the shows usually high standards the prop in question was a new prize wedge on the wheel which had been designed to reflect the show's partnership with a popular tech company the wedge adorned with the tech company's logo and a stylized image of one of their Flagship products was intended to add a touch of contemporary flare to the show however some fans found it jarring and out of place this prop is just tacky one critic wrote it looks like a cheap ad stuck onto the wheel Wheel of Fortune has always been classy and this just feels like a blatant cash grab another commenter agreed saying I get that they want to keep the show relevant but this prop is too much it's distracting and takes away from the Elegance of the set the wheel is supposed to be the star of the show not some advertisement as the debate raged on the show's producers remained confident in their choices in a press release accompanying the sneak peek they explained that the new set and props were part of a broader effort to keep will of Fortune exciting and engaging for both longtime fans and new viewers we're thrilled to unveil the new set for the season the statement read our goal was to update the look and feel of the show while staying true to the elements that our audience loves we believe the new design strikes the perfect balance between tradition and Innovation and we can't wait for viewers to experience it the press release also addressed the controversial prize wedge noting that it was just one of several new elements that would be introduced throughout the season we understand that change can be challenging especially when it comes to a show that has been a part of people's lives for so many years however we believe that these updates will enhance the Wheel of Fortune experience and add new excitement to the game for Vana White who has been a fixture on the show for nearly as long as it has been on the air the new set was a welcome change I've seen the show evolve in so many ways over the years she said in an interview
