That color test pattern dated to the early 1980's, and was one of two typesetting variations with this design used by WABC-TV. The other had no 'circle 7', but had a simple number 7 burned in, superimposed over the black dot in the center greyscale bullseye. It also had "American Broadcasting Companies, Inc." on the bottom part, from left to right, even superimposed over the lower wedge.
