To combat this problem, this was changed to the more blocky-shaped buttons. After the right person answered and saw if it was on the board or not, Richard took the buzzer off the podium and explained what had happened. The original buzzers were plunger-type, but on an episode aired in 1977, during the last face-off, the left person tried to buzz in and broke the buzzer before the right person buzzed in. Also, the face-off podium's lights not only flashed when buzzing in during the main game, but they would flash when a family won the game, and both would flash during the show's open, close, and if a family won Fast Money. The chasing lights did not flash in synchronization, even though the family name panel and show's logo panel's oval lights did. The opening logo was the red boxy shape with Family Feud in the same color in a yellow oval. The neutral panels had red checkerboard-like symbols on them. The number sides of the answer panels were orange and they had a blue boxy shape the same as the opening logo, family backdrops & face-off podium with the numbers in the middle. The Dawson Years: Dawson's main game board sides were completely yellow. While the Dawson shows always had their lights turned off, the Combs shows turned on theirs when it was time to play Fast Money and continued to have them turned on during the final segment of the show. The oval board has chasing lights which lit up from the center to the ends one of the top sides would light up when a family won the round and the entire side would light up when a family has won the game.

When the show became a series in 1976 and lasting until 1994, the trilon board was now housed inside the now familiar blue oval with rectangles sticking out of either side to make room for the family's scoreboards (the bank was still at the top as it had always been plus, the strikes were now superimposed). They were similar to that of Match Game, the show that gave us Family Feud, and the unplayed panels were tan with a pale blue circle in them. The number sides of the flip panels had the numbers sandwiched between 2 triangles. Under the board were three little boxes which were used to display the strikes.

For most of the series, the digital board in neutral title mode was displayed in yellow on black, but in the pilot and in the early episodes of the Combs run, the board displayed black on yellow.ДЄll Versions: In the 1975 pilot, the trilon board was housed in a box-like shape, with all three numerical displays (the bank & family's scores) up top. This was not used for the closing of the 1988-1994 series (except for Christmas episodes, which alternated between the show's title and 'MERRY XMAS' with stars on both sides of 'XMAS'), but was used for the closing of the 1994-1995 series. During the opening and sometimes closing of the show, the digital board had an animated light pattern: The original Dawson series had its board light up/turn off one row at a time, while the 1988-1994 series had their board light up/turn off in a 'four square-like' manner. Two sides of the board had twelve flip panels (six in each column) used for revealing answers during the main game (though no question ever had 11 or 12 answers, the most was 10), one of those sides was covered up by the show's logo during the opening and was taken down backstage when the opening was finished, and the words 'DOUBLE' & 'TRIPLE' were placed on both sides of the main game board to indicate that the values were either doubled or tripled, and the third was a digital board which displayed the show's title and was used for Fast Money.
