NBC Logos and Brands
The peacock with a fan of colorful feathers became one of the 20th century’s iconic television symbols. The “NBC” section is dedicated to the National Broadcasting Company, one of America’s oldest broadcast networks, which began operating as a radio station in 1926. NBC broadcasts news, sports events, comedy and drama series, talk shows, and live broadcasts. The network’s logo has undergone many iterations, from the microphone motifs of the early decades to the abstract peacock that has become its main symbol. This section examines the visual evolution of one of the three classic American television networks.
