KNDO Yakima legal ID slide

I find the weirdest things when I'm cleaning up around here at KWPX-TV. Here is an ID slide (M-20) from KNDO 23 Yakima. As far as I know, we have never had any connection to KNDO. Maybe an engineer from an earlier era did.

Based on the hair style this looks to be from the late 70's but the graphic style says mid 80's. Whoever she is she's pretty as a peach.

Isn't that just Helvetica Bold? That was already a very common font by the late 1960s/early 1970s.

Cool find Val! This probably dates to the '70s like you said. I doubt other slides exist anymore in private collections, so definitely keep it. My mother used to pick fruit as a kid with her siblings out on the farm east of Moxee (in the late '60s-early '70s).
 
I didn't say the graphics were anything special, just that it looked 70's or 80's. I'm sure using an off the shelf font was very common in a small market like Yakima. Everybody on the Vintage Yakima BookFace page seems to think she's picking Red Delicious apples, even after reading my "pretty as a peach" joke.
 
I was given a private tour of WTVQ Lexington KY in the late 1970s by one of the anchors. They had a huge drawer in the control room full of such slides. That's just how they did it back then.
