Sometimes, the logo appears in a different color on The Merv Griffin Show.

In the Merv Griffin Show and the 1983 Jeopardy! pilot, the text 'A MERV GRIFFIN PRODUCTION' is above the logo.

Some mid-'70s episodes of The Merv Griffin Show have the text 'A GRIFFIN PRODUCTION' above the logo.

Trivia: While this logo was first used on pilots in 19, it made its broadcast debut on the Janupremiere of Wheel of Fortune. There is also a line separating the griffin with the name ' MERV GRIFFIN productions' underneath. Visuals: A detailed outline of an Opinicus griffin sitting and holding up its left paw is seen inside a rounded rectangle.
