BadSeed84 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I like the n logo without the peacock i think they should do an updated version of that and dump the peacock.They recently introduced a similar style for many of their major affiliates.NBC New YorkNBC WashingtonNBC ChicagoNBC Los AngelesNBC MiamiNBC Dallas-Forth WorthNBC Philadelphiai HATE tho that the web adresses are much longer nownbc10.com is now nbcphiladelphia.comlike i wanna type all those letters, luckily nba10 redirects to nbcphiladelphia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goforbroke Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 G-E-C that's a cool fact. Now my question is, did this just start recently, or has the chime been there forever while I've been oblivious?To comment on the thread topic, I like the new logo. The primary colours work for me.Um, that. I believe it's been around since the radio days because of course back then you couldn't see the peacock so they used the chime as their aural 'logo'. Now they may have discontinued using it on TV for some period of time but it's been around forever.I was going for the last part of your answer...whether they were using it on TV all along. If it's been recently reintroduced, I'm not losing my marbles. If it's always been there, they have certainly stepped it up.NBC introduced the peacock logo when they started broadcasting in color.

Wasatch Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 NBC introduced the peacock logo when they started broadcasting in color.Totally makes sense! My opinion on the logo itself is that its fine the way it is. It?s a classic well known logo that?s not too detailed or too simplistic for TV standards; it seems to be well proportioned to the point where it looks good at any size!

illwauk Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 The chimes have nothing to do with General Electric; the shared initials are just a coincidence. General Electric did not own NBC outright until 1986, while the three-note chimes date back to the radio days (1932).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBC_chimesI knew GE didn't have full ownership of NBC until sometime in the 80s or 90s, but I could've sworn they had a stake in the network going back to its radio days.
