'''Editor's Note:''' This is one of NBC's well-known logos, especially among NBC fans.

=== 6th Logo (1976-1981) ===

File:N of Doom (1976).jpg
</gallery>
'''Nickname:''' "N of Doom"
'''Logo:''' We have a white background, which zooms out, revealing an abstract "'''N'''" on a black background. The text "Dolphin Productions/New York" in white fades in on the bottom of the screen. The left section of the "'''N'''" fills with {{Font color|red|red}}, and the right section fills with {{Font color|dodgerblue|blue}}, becoming the NBC logo of the time. The text on the bottom of the screen fades to "'''NBC'''".
'''FX/SFX:''' It's nothing more than zoom effects and fading. This was done at Dolphin Productions in New York; the footage here was taken from a watermarked Dolphin demo reel, which explains the "Dolphin Productions/New York" at the bottom of the screen at one part.
'''Music/Sounds:''' A loud jazzy fanfare with congas.
'''Availability:''' Extinct. This was seen as a network ID starting on January 1, 1976. NBC replaced it with the "Proud N" starting in 1979, but NBC News and NBC Sports retained this logo until 1981.
'''Editor's Note:''' A fresh, new logo concept that went well at the time.

File:Peacock in the Sky (NBC).png
</gallery>
 
'''Nicknames:''' "Peacock in the Sky", "The Plane", "Cloudy Peacock", "NBC Peacock IV"
 
'''Logo:''' On a sky background, an {{Font color|orange|orange}} biplane flies over. The camera then cuts to the seat of the plane as it flies. Then, the camera cuts to the wheels. The camera then cuts to the seat again. We then cut to the wheels and then the front of the plane. The plane then reveals a cloud version of the 6 feathered NBC Peacock with the head looking at the right and then turns into color. When the logo forms, there's no corporate text at all, but the URL "www.NBC.com" may appear surrounded by a black oval.
 
'''Variant:''' On ''Access Hollywood'', the URL is absent.
 
'''FX/SFX:''' The flying of the plane, the plane forming the peacock, and the peacock turning into color.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' A dramatic theme with the sounds of the biplane's engine followed by a bell version of the 3 note NBC theme.
 
'''Availability:''' Extinct.
*This was only seen on pre-2001 episodes of ''Access Hollywood''.
*It also doubled as a network ID c. 1995.
 
'''Editor's Note:''' Another interesting concept with decent animation.

'''Nicknames:''' "The Flipping Peacock", "NBC Peacock V"
 
'''Logo:''' We see the 6-feathered NBC peacock over a revolving set of many-colored feathers in the background. The logo appears to be flipping as if it were a book. It then makes a stop at the near end. There's no corporate text at all in this logo, but the URL from before may appear below.
 
'''Variant:''' On ''Access Hollywood'', the URL is absent.
 
'''FX/SFX:''' The flipping of the peacock.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' On ''Access Hollywood'' episodes from 1997-99 distributed by 20th Television: a majestic rendition of the NBC chimes, ending in an orchestral flourish. As a station ident, a series of chimes that leads into a bombastic fanfare. For the 1999-01 episodes of the said show distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution: it used the music used in 1999 for the next logo.
 
'''Availability:''' Same as before.
 
'''Editor's Note:''' Another beautifully animated logo with a just as beautiful score (at least on the station ident variant).
 
===3rd Logo (August 26, 1996-July 29, 2004)===
