Nicknames: "The Star-Shooter", "King World Star-Shooter" Logo: A modified rendition of the 4th and 5th logos. Over a golden sunset backdrop of clouds, the "KINGWORLD" name, which is in a different font this time, scans through the sky. As it pans backward, a shooting star glides by the logo, revealing a paint streak and a star shape in the center. The sun shines from behind the logo revealing either "DISTRIBUTED BY", "PRODUCED & DISTRIBUTED BY", or nothing at all appearing above the logo. Trivia: The logo was designed and animated by Pittard Sullivan, who also did the 1995 Buena Vista Television logo, and the 1998 CTV logo. The logo was animated in 1999 by SIMEX (in association with Pittard Sullivan) on Alias|Wavefront PowerAnimator (read the press release here). Variants: The more common short version that cuts out the close-up panning of the logo. On post-1999 episodes of Hollywood Squares, the copyright stamp "Copyright [YEAR] King World Studios West, Inc." is seen below the logo. On Inside Edition, the logo is revealed by a peeling effect. On an re-airing of Wheel of Fortune, a copyright stamp for the Associated Broadcasting Company is seen. FX/SFX: The shooting star, the name scanning and panning back. Music/Sounds: Various streaking sounds followed by a booming sound of a thunderclap, accompanied by an "airy" musical backdrop. May also have the end theme playing over it. Music/Sounds Variants: There are 3 music variations: The first one is the long version from the longer animation. The second is the second half of the long version 1999-2006: Starts with the thunderclap sound only for game shows. Availability: Common. It appeared on Jeopardy! (it used the "Distributed By" variant until 2006 and began using the non-"Distributed By" variants), Wheel of Fortune, Inside Edition, The Oprah Winfrey Show (until 2002), and Dr. Phil (until 2007) among others. Currently seen on Everybody Loves Raymond, the CSI franchise, and America's Next Top Model on TBS, Spike TV, A&E, Oxygen, and MTV respectively. A spiffier version can be seen on various TV movies on Lifetime. Local reruns of Everybody Loves Raymond and the CSI franchise would have this logo plastered by the CBS Television Distribution logo. Some Dr. Seuss TV specials re-ran on ABC Family may also have this logo shown before the (compressed) credits. GSN doesn't rerun Jeopardy! or Wheel of Fortune at the moment, but past episodes from this era (and episodes as early as 1984) can be seen on Crackle. The distribution variant was seen on a Movies! airing of Hound of the Baskervilles (1939 version). Scare Factor: None to minimal for the long variant, but this can increase with the short and game show variants.
