Redesigning the NBC Peacock


Utilis

Recommended Posts

I like the current peacock logo (introduced in 1986) because it's fairly simple and a pretty strong brand identity. However, the one I really like was used in conjunction with their "Proud N" logo:

I think they had a variant without the background N. I can see why they replaced it: it probably has too many colors and even on its own, is probably a bit too busy (the "N" doesn't help, either). And it's facing left, which is understood to be looking back, rather than looking forward.

They did have a variant without the "Proud N" during their "Proud as a Peacock" phase in the late 70s/early 80s..

This thread has given me a renewed appreciation for how well-designed NBC's current logo is.

Same. Seeing the older logos, I didn't like the current one as much, but now I recognize it's a good example of less is more.
