Another dishwasher...

I wish I'd kept a photo or two, but I had a 70s Canadian GE washer and dryer set with unilingual French control panels! 

 

I remember Inglis dishwashers in particular having 'iconic' control panels - a picture of a saucepan for the ScourWash cycle, a stack of dishes for the Normal wash, a small stack of dishes for Light wash, etc.  The GE we got in '78 had a similar control panel and the 87 GE that was installed in my first house still had this kind of panel.

Phil, there's a few pictures on my Flickr account. One of them shows the French-only control panel.

Paul - it would be interesting to see those icons that were used to represent controls on the Inglis dishwashers.
For myself, I like those vs. the lettering, unless the lettering is script or something that stands out.

Phil - You are such a resource…I see it. I'm a little disappointed that they labeled it in such plain characters - would think French might get a little different treatment, but it's ok. I wasn't digging for unique fonts; interest was just to see what was used to represent the burners and oven controls.

Is that a turquoise stove? It looks really nice if it's turquoise…some turquoise is just a bit too strong in statement but that looks like mint, which (to me) lifts it above the staid-looking, but practical whites.

Oh well. Thank you both!
