1st Logo
(1979-1986)
Nicknames: "The Proud N-Peacock", "The Proud N", "Neon Proud Peacock", "NBC Peacock"
Logo: On a black background, several colorful neon lines drawn onto the screen. The neon lines zoom out and flash, revealing a CGI view of the NBC peacock, behind a blue stylized "N". The words "NBC Enterprises Inc. Presents", in a blue 3D, ITC Serif Gothic Heavy font (the NBC typeface from the era), appear underneath the logo. The peacock then shines.
FX/SFX: The lines drawing and the peacock forming. All Scanimate effects.
Music/Sounds: The 1953 NBC chimes theme.
Availability: Rare. Can be seen on the 1984 Vestron Video release of Heidi. It was originally seen on Punky Brewster.
Editor's Note: None.
2nd Logo
(1986-1996)
Nicknames: "90s Peacock", "The 1986 Peacock", "The Remake of the Peacock", "The Restored Peacock", "Come Home", "NBC Peacock II"
Logo: Against a black background, a red CGI mound appears. As it rises, more rainbow colors are revealed. Then from the top of the screen, the head/neck of the NBC Peacock swings in and the mound spreads to become his feathers. This Peacock is the current version, and it backs away with a color trail around it. Below, the word:
flies in and the words:
in it's typeface, NBC Futura (which is NBC's proprietary font),fade in. When the word "NBC" backs into its place, it takes on a more "solid" color.
FX/SFX: Same as the 1986 NBC Productions logo, but slow.
Music/Sounds: Same as before.
Availability: Extremely rare. Seen on the pilot of Kissyfur, titled Bears Roots Special, which was released on VHS by Just for Kids. May have been seen on other programs.
Editor's Note: None.
3rd Logo
(1996-2004)
See NBC Studios for description.
4th Logo
(2000-2004)
See NBC Studios for description.
5th Logo
(Fall 2001-September 19, 2004)
Nickname: "Crystal Feathers"
Logo: Over a black background, we see very huge peacock feathers in transparent glass form flip around, revealing the company name "NBC ENTERPRISES", which appears on the most prominent feather. A small purple NBC peacock logo appears below the name.
Trivia: This logo was based on NBC's on-air look from 2000 to 2002. NBC News' closing logo of the time also included glass feathers, and as of 2008, still does.
Variant: There is also a narrow version.
FX/SFX: The flipping peacock feathers.
Music/Sounds: The 1999 NBC Studios theme.
Music/Sounds Variant: The low tone theme from the 2000 NBC Studios logo was also used.
Availability: Uncommon. This was common in the early 2000s, but has become less frequent than it used to be.
Editor's Note: None.
