The following changes are made to the show this year: A "registered trademark" (®) symbol is added to the show's logo. The Wheel is slightly changed: The $2,500 and $3,500 wedges are now in the Clarendon font. In Round 2, the "off-model" $300 wedge covering Free Spin is changed to the Clarendon font, albeit shorter and narrower than the other wedges. The Prize wedges' lettering returns to normal. As of this season, the slide whistle no longer sounds if Pat hits Bankrupt on the Final Spin. The second and more familiar $25,000 sign debuts. This one, shaped like an elongated hexagon, is composed of green and blue light bulbs which give a "pulsating" effect. A week sometime this season offers a $75,000 Russian sable mink coat in the Bonus Round. Several weeks this season offer a $45,576 "Trip of a Lifetime" in the Bonus Round, which may be the most expensive vacation offered in the Bonus Round. Starting this season, and lasting until at least Season 9, the show offers official T-shirts and sweatshirts to all contestants as consolation prizes. The shirts have the traditional logo with the Round 4 template as the Wheel part of the logo, with "I'm a Wheel Watcher!" under it.
