Nickname: "Let's All Be There"

Logo: On a black silver-lined floor, there is a three-dimensional model of the 1979-1986 NBC logo sitting closely above ground. The camera pans below to huge lettering which is revealed to be read as "BE THERE", sitting on a black floor with red lines scrolling. The camera pans back to show another three-dimensional model of the aforementioned logo in front of the lettering. Then a dotted shine of light reveals the lettering "LET'S ALL." It then zooms through the letter "E."

Trivia: This logo was designed by Larry Marks, who was also notable for designing the 1983-1989 intro to Entertainment Tonight.

Variants:
  • There's a version with different panning animation. First we see the NBC logo floating in mid-air. Then the camera zooms away from the logo and zooms into the "BE THERE" sign with the dotted shine revealing "LET'S ALL." Then it zooms through the letter "E."
  • There's another version which is on a black background with blue being emitted below. The NBC logo floats in mid-air on the right and "LET'S ALL BE THERE" sits on the left. This was used as a generic NBC ID. An alternate version of this variant without the peacock was used as a template for NBC stations to place their logos when needed.
  • A version was made for Seven in Australia. In this version, the Seven logo replaces the NBC logo.
  • A version was also made for SBT and TVS in Brazil. In this version, the words "LET'S ALL BE THERE" are translated into Portuguese as "QUEM PROCURA ACHA AQUI". Also, the entire logo is 2D and cuts to the words coming in. After the camera zooms through the words, either the SBT or TVS logo zooms in.
Custom Local Variants:
  • KPRC-TV 2 (Houston, Texas): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo.
  • WMAR-TV 2 (Baltimore, Maryland; now an ABC affiliate): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo.
  • KYTV-TV 3 (Springfield, Missouri): Basically a still picture of the first part of the ID with different panning animation, but the station's logo is seen floating in mid-air, replacing the NBC logo. Also, there is a byline on a black floor with red lines saying "KYTV SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI" with an outlined version of the 1975-1979 NBC logo placed between the call letters and the city name.
  • WSTM-TV 3 (Syracuse, New York): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo.
  • KNBC-TV 4 (Los Angeles, California): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo.
  • WDAF-TV 4 (Kansas City, Missouri-Kansas; now a FOX affiliate): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo.
  • WNBC-TV 4 (New York, New York): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo.
  • WRC-TV 4 (Washington, D.C.): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo.
  • WSVN-TV 7 (Miami-Fort Lauderdale, Florida; now a FOX affiliate): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo.
  • WLUK-TV 11 (Green Bay-Fox Cities, Wisconsin; now a FOX affiliate): The NBC logo is replaced by the station's logo, which is now set on a black background with the logo shown in front of the camera. There's a version with a byline that has the words "WLUK-TV" on the left and "Green Bay - Fox Cities" on the right.
  • WSFA-TV 12 (Montgomery-Dothan, Alabama): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo.
  • WWBT-TV 12 (Richmond, Virginia): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo.
  • WJCL-TV 22 (Savannah, Georgia; now an ABC affiliate): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo.
  • WEEK-TV 25 (Peoria-Bloomington, Illinois): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo, which is not in 3D for some reason.
  • WPTF-TV 28 (Raleigh-Durham-Fayetteville, North Carolina; now known as WRDC-TV and now a MyNetworkTV affiliate): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo and there's a byline with the words "WPTF-TV" on top and "Durham-Raleigh-Fayetteville" on the bottom.
  • WVIT-TV 30 (New Britain, Connecticut): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo.
  • WRBT-TV 33 (Baton Rouge, Louisiana; now known as WVLA-TV): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo; the "Let's All Be There" sign is gone in this version.
  • KCST-TV 39 (San Diego, California; now known as KNSD-TV): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo; the "Let's All Be There" sign is replaced by text reading "KCST-TV" on top and "SAN DIEGO" on the bottom.
FX/SFX: The dotted shine forming "LET'S ALL." All in all, this is great animation for a logo in the early 80's, as it was produced by Pacific Data Images.

Music/Sounds: The campaign's song "Let's All Be There."

Music/Sounds Variants:
  • The Seven version replaces the lyrics "N-B-C" with "Channel 7."
  • On the generic NBC ID of that time (with the peacock on the right and the slogan on the left), a shortened and instrumental version of the campaign's song is heard and we hear an announcer saying "This is the NBC television network."

Availability: Extinct, as it was only used as a station ID.

Editor's Note: None.

Nickname: "Let's All Be There II"

Logo: On a black background, there is a silver box with the 1979-86 NBC logo, illuminatedlike a neon sign, above it. After a few seconds, the camera pans to show a purple neon wall. The camera then pans around to reveal the NBC logo in the top-left corner of the wall. Right below it in the middle-left is the words "Let's all," flashing in pink, in the middle-right is the word "BE," and at the bottom-right is the word "THERE." It then zooms in to the wall and flies away across the screen.

Variants:
  • A version exists mostly for local station idents. The wall, usually with the station's logo on it, is facing the camera this time. It then turns around to show the "Let's all BE THERE" sign.
  • A version was made for Seven in Australia. In this version, the Seven logo replaces the NBC logo. One alternate version of this variant used in one promo had the logo animating in reverse. Another alternate version of this variant used as a station had stylized buildings changing color and dancing, before the Circle 7 forms and zooms to the same silver box from the regular Let's All Be There ID. The logo and silver box are in an opposite direction. Also, the camera does not pan to the purple neon wall at all and the slogan "Let's All Be There" is gone in this version.

Custom Local Variants:
  • WMAR-TV 2 (Baltimore, Maryland; now an ABC affiliate): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo.
  • WTWO-TV 2 (Terre Haute, Indiana): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo and there's a byline with the words "Terre Haute" in a curvy font below.
  • KYTV-TV 3 (Springfield, Missouri): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo and there's a byline with the words "KYTV Springfield, Mo." at the bottom.
  • KYW-TV 3 (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; now a CBS O&O affiliate): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo.
  • WSAV-TV 3 (Savannah, Georgia): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo.
  • WSTM-TV 3 (Syracuse, New York): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo and the word "SYRACUSE" in violet appears below the ident.
  • WDAF-TV 4 (Kansas City, Missouri-Kansas; now a FOX affiliate): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo.
  • KXAS-TV 5 (Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo.
  • WPTZ-TV 5 (North Pole-Plattsburgh, New York; Burlington, Vermont): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo.
  • WPSD-TV 6 (Paducah, Kentucky; Harrisburg, Illinois; Cape Girardeau, Missouri): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo.
  • WSVN-TV 7 (Miami-Fort Lauderdale, Florida; now a FOX affiliate): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo.
  • WWBT-TV 12 (Richmond, Virginia): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo.
  • WJKS-TV 17 (Jacksonville, Florida; now known as WCWJ and now a CW affiliate): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo.
  • WRBT-TV 33 (Baton Rouge, Louisiana; now known as WVLA-TV): The station's logo replaces the NBC logo.
FX/SFX: The camera panning, the "Let's All" sign flashing and the rows of the neon sign turning on and off. All this is impressive computer graphics for 1985, especially since it was produced by Pacific Data Images.

Music/Sounds: A re-orchestrated and a faster-paced version of the music from the previous ID. Most of the time, an announcer (the legendary Danny Dark) can be heard saying "This is the NBC Television Network!" On the Seven ID with colorful buildings, an instrumental and pop music-styled version of the music is heard in a different pitch.

Music/Sounds Variants:
These are all variants of the network version.
  • There's a version from an unknown program where the background music is a dramatic, yet soft, combination of strings, horns, and drums. Text reading "PACIFIC DATA IMAGES FOR MARKS COMMUNICATIONS" appears in the bottom right corner. This was likely taken from a compilation of computer graphics. This can be seen<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41UXh0wtefM" target="_self" title="here">here</a>.
  • The normal network music plays, but a completely different male announcer says, "Now, NBC Sports presents game six of the National League Championship Series. Programming normally seen at this time will return tomorrow!" This variant was spotted on YouTube, but is now nowhere to be found.
  • Another variant again has the normal music playing, but Danny Dark says, "It's Amazing Week, on the NBC Television Network!" Once again, this variant was once on YouTube, but has disappeared as of late.
  • A sped up version with the Dark voiceover has a slightly shorter version of the music that begins with a bongo riff before the familiar jingle.
  • Another variant with no Dark voiceover has a version that begins with a slap bass vamp for the jingle before transitioning to the main theme. This can be seen<a href="https://youtu.be/JT_wMgtf2oM?t=58s" target="_self" title="here">here</a>.

Availability: Long extinct. Check old off-air recordings of the period. Your best bet will probably be searching for PDI demo reels, as this ID appeared on several of them. The local station variants are even more difficult to find due to their local nature. According to several comments on YouTube, this logo would often be used to start NBC's primetime programming in the '85-'86 season and would occasionally appear during the middle of primetime programming.

Editor's Note: None.
