Season 7 (1990-1991)[]
Beginning with this season, the KingWorld spotlights logo appeared at the end of each episode.
Starting with this season, the lights went dark during the Final Jeopardy! segment
Season Changes[]
- This season is both the last season to have the 1984-1990 KingWorld "Stars and Stripes" logo, and the first season to have the 1990-1998 KingWorld "Spotlights" logo.
- This is the last season to use the 1985-1991 Jeopardy! set, with its last appearance on the 7th season finale, which aired on July 19, 1991. Some changes to the set for this season include:
- The carpet/Plexiglas floor has a grayer look to it.
- The circles underneath the contestant podiums are removed.
- The blue parts of the contestant podiums are given new paint jobs.
- The white outline around the contestants' score displays changed its color to a thicker, rounded silver outline; this outline was first seen during the Super Jeopardy! tournament with a marble textured look.
- A month into this season, the lights started to go dark during the Final Jeopardy! segment, as the contestants started writing their final responses. This was carried over from Super Jeopardy!. However, during this segment, as the contestant scoreboards are non-illuminating electro-mechanical vane units, the scores were invisible (this would be alleviated the next season with the new set).
- Instead of zooming into the leftmost-category card as Alex reads them off as was the practice in prior seasons, it now fades from the full shot of the gameboard to the first category card.
- Early in the season, the Daily Double card was set in blue. By the Tournament of Champions, it became red, and all subsequent Daily Double graphics had a red background from here until the end of season 14.
- The copyright card is changed to a rotation of red and blue. "All Rights Reserved" appears in the copyright card for the first time since 1984.
- On early episodes of the season, the copyright card had a coral colored upside down triangle with the black Jeopardy! logo on the banner; a similarly-designed logo was used for the show's 10th anniversary logo in 1993.
- The 1984-90 KingWorld "Stars and Stripes" logo was still used on early episodes of this season.
- After both Bob Blake and Frank Spangenberg had exceed the $75,000 winnings limit and forced to donate the excess winnings to charity the previous season, the contestant winnings cap is increased to $100,000 this season.
