NBC Studios: Difference between revisions

     Some shows would have the card "An NBC (Television Network) Presentation", "(Produced) in association with the NBC (Television) Network", or "In Association with NBC - TV".

     It's currently seen on several episodes of Bonanza on TV Land and Me-TV, such as the season 2 episode "Day of Reckoning", Little House on the Prairie on COZI TV, and Daniel Boone on World Harvest Television and RTV.

Nicknames: "The Snake", "NBC Snake", "Camera Lenses"

     This also surprisingly turned up at the end of GSN's 2003 airing of the original 1963 pilot episode of Let's Make a Deal.

     More recently, this logo has been spotted on several color episodes of Laramie on Encore Westerns, following the color Revue logo, making this a much easier find.

Nicknames: "The Snake II", "NBC Snake II", "Camera Lenses II"

Nicknames: "The Snake III", "NBC Snake III", "The Cameraman"

     The announcer says, "This has been a production (or presentation) of the NBC Television Network.", or "This has been a color production (or presentation) of the NBC Television Network." for the earlier shows (or programs) in color.

     The same announcer says just like in the 2nd logo, "Produced in association with the NBC Television Network.", or "Produced in color in association with the NBC Television Network." (for the earlier shows (or programs) in color) or "This has been an NBC Television Network presentation".

Availability: Rare, though it's a little easier to come across than the last two logos.

     It's currently seen on most season 3 episodes of The Virginian on INSP. This also appeared on some episodes of Bonanza on Me-TV, such as season 2's "Day of Reckoning" & season 7's "The Lonely Ranger", and several of the "lost episodes", which recently began airing on Me-TV, followed by the CBS Television Distribution logo.

     The black and white version can be seen on The Perry Como Show on GetTV.

Editor's Note: See the previous two logos.

     On WNBC's analog shutdown, this had the original 1950's chimes.

     On Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, a single person clapping can be heard over the chimes.

Availability: Extremely rare.

     As for the still variant, it's extinct and was last seen on Eye Guess.

     This logo was recently spotted on an airing of Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In on Decades.

NBC Television Network (1975)NBC Television Network (1975)

Editor's Note: A fresh, new logo concept that went well at the time.

Nicknames: "Cheesy Peacock", "Peacock Blur", "The Proud Peacock", "'80s Peacock", "NBC Peacock"

Logo: On a black background the 1979-1986 NBC Peacock turns into place. It is a blur of color as it does so, but clears up as it stops. Under the peacock are the words:

Variants:

     A copyright stamp may appear below on some shows.

     On the Peter the Great miniseries, a still in-credit logo was seen with "NBC" above it.

     It's seen on some co-produced shows, such as seasons 1 & 2 of Punky Brewster, It's Punky Brewster, and season 1 of the short-lived cartoon Kissyfur, among others.

     The version with the blue background appeared on the first two season DVD releases of Punky Brewster and the 1985 NBC TV special Let's All Be There, and on the short-lived 1985 NBC comedy Sara, starring Geena Davis; there, it came after the UBU Productions card, and between the two was an IAW card in stacked formation and in lowercase Broadway font in white on a black screen.

Nicknames: "The Proud N-Peacock", "'80s Peacock II", "The NBC Peacock II"

     The "NBC Entertainment" version is seen on the "Chevy Chase/Shelia E" episode while, the "John Lithgow/Mr. Mister" episode has the "NBC Productions" variant.

     It should be retained on episodes if they're re-ran on TV again. Most reruns however, will have the 9th logo.

Nicknames: "'90s Peacock", "The 1986 Peacock", "The Remake of the Peacock", "The Restored Peacock", "NBC Peacock III"

     On The Nerd, an unsold TV pilot that was produced in 1989, but did not air until 1996, season 1 of The Single Guy, the seasons 3-4 DVD's of Homicide: Life on the Street, and most NBC shows from 1994-96 due to split screen credits, the logo was still.

     On The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Late Night with Conan O'Brien from sometime in late 1994, the logo is a still on NBC's then-new generic split-screen closing credits on the right hand side with a copyright notice.

     This was found on the majority of 1980-1996 SNL episodes on Netflix and Hulu, but were taken off the respective sites.

     This logo has also been added, following the Broadway Video logo, on select 1975-85 reruns of Saturday Night Live when broadcast on NBC.  

Editor's Note: A well-animated logo with a refreshing change with the peacock.

Nicknames: "Peacock in the Sky", "The Plane", "Cloudy Peacock", "NBC Peacock IV"

     This was only seen on pre-2001 episodes of Access Hollywood in syndication.

     It also doubled as a network ID c. 1996.  

Nicknames: "The Flipping Peacock", "NBC Peacock V"

Editor's Note: Another beautifully animated logo with a just as beautiful score (at least on the station ident variant).

Nicknames: "Color Beams", "NBC Peacock VI"

     On Sleepwalkers (the 1997 TV series), the text "in association with" is seen under the logo.

     On the short-lived animated sitcom God, the Devil and Bob, there is a still version of this logo.

     Season 1 of The Pretender had part of the MTM music play over this logo, TNT airings had this logo silent.

     Sometimes, the ending theme of the show was played, original NBC airings used generic music.

Availability: Common.

     This also appeared on subsequent post-season S2 episodes of the sitcom In the House, whenever that show gets reran.

     The "ENTERPRISES" variant can be seen on City Guys on BET, Malibu CA, and One World. Also seen on Ed from 2001-2004, Titans from 2000-01, and the final season of California Dreams. The USA Network's USA High had the version with the moving beams.

Nicknames: "Shining Colors", "The Shimmering Peacock", "NBC Peacock VII"
