Wow-that takes me back. I live in Newberg, as I did in 1993. Although there was some significant damage here resulting from that quake, I very nearly slept through it (I only wish I could sleep that soundly now).
It's odd to hear Gianola sounding nearly subdued while reporting on what was a major local story that year. He's amped his delivery up significantly since he went to KOIN, which may be one of the reasons I don't watch Channel 6 as much as I used to. Many thanks for the post.
The font used for the KATU calls is actually a widely-used font named Futura Bold, as for the font for the word "Spirit"? I still haven't been able to find it.
I also know that the "2" was a customized one based off of their original "2" which they'd used for close to twenty years.
The current 2 is also the old one. It has been gone for 7 years when they went to the puzzle box 2 in 2000. If you slow down the video feed of the current "2" moving around you can clealy see the wood like textures of the old "2"
PErsonly like the current graphics and "2". It is by far the best graphics package KATU has ever used behind the 1995-2000 package (the slanted box, one right after this package)
This quake occured March 25th 1993. It woke me up @ 5:34am. I was in Oregon City.

KATU's font also seemed pretty simular to WBZ, WJZ, KDKA & KPIX's graphics at the same time.

The current "2" is NOT the old "2" by a long shot. There's clear differences between the two, namely uniform stroke width.
As for the best graphics? I have to say the graphics package here would top my list.

No, the currenrt 2 has more anti-aligning or what ever its called. its the old "2" but in mordern form.
