NBC Logo History & Meaning
NBC's famous peacock first appeared in 1956 to promote color broadcasting on the network, then owned by RCA. The current six-feathered bird, with each plume in a different colour, was introduced in 1986 and was designed by Steff Geissbuhler of the firm Chermayeff & Geismar. The mark has been refined several times since, including the simplified flat treatment paired with the lowercase "nbc" wordmark adopted in 2022, while keeping the rainbow peacock instantly recognisable.
