'''Logo:''' Just on screen in-credit text saying, "[NAME OF SERIES] is an NBC Television Network Presentation" that's superimposed on the credits.
'''Variants:'''
*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".
*Starting in 1967, the text is referred to as "An NBC Production".
*Some shows would have the text "Produced by NBC Entertainment" or "Produced by NBC Productions" would appear in the 1980s and early 1990s.
*Sometimes, another company is credited alongside NBC. The in-credit logo on Little House on the Prairie had the text "In Association With ED FRIENDLY," while episodes of ''The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson'' and ''Late Night with David Letterman'' had the text "in Association with CARSON PRODUCTIONS". But for ''Late Night with David Letterman''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s final season (1992-93) with NBC, the "[[Carson Productions|CARSON PRODUCTIONS]]" credit was eliminated following Johnny Carson's retirement from ''The Tonight Show'' in May 1992 and replaced with a credit for "[[Worldwide Pants, Incorporated|WORLDWIDE PANTS INCORPORATED]]". (They did share credits from 1990-92.)
*Sometimes during the '60s and '70s, it would also feature the in-credit NBC "Snake" logo.
*On the ultra short-lived 1979 series ''Supertrain'', the card reads "an n.b.c. production," and below was a union bug and NBC copyright.
*On the unaired episode of ''Ed'', a {{Font color|blue|blue}}-{{Font color|moccasin|tan}} gradient background and a serif typeface reading "{{Font|Serif|'''NBC PRODUCTIONS LOGO'''}}" was used. Considering this was an unaired episode, this was likely used as a placeholder for NBC to air.
'''FX/SFX:''' None.
'''Music/Sounds:''' Just the ending theme of any show playing or silent. On some shows, mainly in the 1950s, you would hear an announcer spiel: "In association with the NBC Television Network".
'''Availability:''' Common.
*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.
*The NBC/Carson Productions in-credit logo appeared on ''The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson'' and ''Late Night with David Letterman''.
'''Editor's Note:''' None.

'''Nicknames:''' "The Snake", "NBC Snake", "Camera Lenses"
'''Logo:''' Superimposed on the screen as a few camera lenses rotate clockwise in the background, the NBC snake logo forms, and the text "{{Small|{{Font|Impact|TELEVISION NETWORK}}}}" in a small font appears inside the "'''C'''" of the snake.
'''Variant:''' On at least one syndication episode of ''You Bet Your Life'' had the word "{{Small|{{Font|Impact|FILMS}}}}" instead of "{{Small|{{Font|Impact|TELEVISION NETWORK}}}}".
'''FX/SFX:''' The camera lenses rotating clockwise, the snake forming, the text appearing.
'''Music/Sounds:''' A horn jingle plays as an announcer either says, "Produced (in color) in association with the NBC Television Network", "This has been a color presentation of the NBC Television Network", or "This has been an NBC Television Network presentation".
'''Music/Sounds Variants:''' There's a very rare 1962 variant which is a different horn jingle being heard as the announcer says "This is the CBS Television...oh, g*dd**n it!". He might have made a mistake during the voiceover.
'''Availability:''' Extremely rare.
*The film variant has been recently found on a DVD of ''You Bet Your Life'' and the normal variant has been spotted on a few episodes.
*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.
'''Editor's Note:''' A simplistic but interesting logo concept.
=== 3rd Logo (1960-1963?) ===

'''Nicknames:''' "The Snake II", "NBC Snake II", "Camera Lenses II"
'''Logo:''' We zoom onto a camera rotating around in a clockwise direction, we also see a {{Font color|blue|blue}} shadow of a cameraman operating a camera. We then see the logo form in the same way as the previous logo along with the minuscule "{{Small|{{Font|Impact|TELEVISION NETWORK}}}}" text. When the logo is nearly finished forming, we zoom out from the camera lens.
'''FX/SFX:''' The zooming into the camera, the camera lenses rotating clockwise, the snake forming, the "TELEVISION NETWORK" text appearing, and then zooming out from the camera lenses.
'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as before.
'''Availability:''' Very rare. The color version can be seen on some season 3 episodes of ''Laramie'' on Encore Westerns.
'''Editor's Note:''' See the previous logo.
=== 4th Logo (1960-1966) ===

'''Nicknames:''' "The Snake III", "NBC Snake III", "The Cameraman"
'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see {{Font color|hotpink|pink}}, {{Font color|red|red}}, and {{Font color|deeppink|magenta}} light spots. We see the NBC logo forming, while a cameraman moves from left to right in the background.
'''FX/SFX:''' The forming of the name, and the man moving the camera.
'''Music/Sounds:''' A jazzy horn rendition of the famous NBC theme or a dramatic horn fanfare from the 2nd logo with the announcer voice-over, depending on the variant:
*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.
=== 5th Logo (1966-1975, 2009) ===

'''Nicknames:''' "The Snake IV", "NBC Snake IV"
'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see the NBC snake forming itself from the bottom starting with the letter "'''C'''". As the snake forms the letters "'''B'''" and "'''N'''", the background changes its color from black, to {{Font color|deepskyblue|light blue}}, to {{Font color|limegreen|green}}, to {{Font color|red|red}}. Below the logo is the text "PRODUCED WITH THE NBC-TV NETWORK", "PRODUCED BY THE NBC-TV NETWORK", or "PRESENTED BY THE NBC-TV NETWORK", which disappears as the background turns {{Font color|red|red}} and the logo finishes.
'''Variants:'''
*This logo would appear on a {{Font color|mediumvioletred|light purple}}-like background as a still shot.
*On a promo for ''Star Trek'', the logo is in the bottom left corner and forms from the center of that area. The "'''N'''" moves in the top left, the "'''B'''" in the top right, and the "'''C'''" in the center bottom.
*Short versions exist that cuts part or most of the formation of the letter "'''C'''".
*This can also appear in B&W on prints in the said colors.
'''FX/SFX:''' The snake forming, and the background changes.
'''Music/Sounds:''' The NBC chime theme from the 1950s, only sped up a little, or the ending theme of the program or promo.
'''Music/Sounds Variants:'''
*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.
*It was last seen on current prints of the ''I Dream of Jeannie'' episode "Uncles a Go-Go" preceded by the Screen Gems "S from Hell" and followed by the Sony Pictures Television logo last aired on WGN America and last seen on several 1964 episodes of ''The Virginian'' on Encore Westerns.
*It was also recently spotted after ''The Monkees'' episode "Son of a Gypsy" on Antenna TV (with the Colex Enterprises logo before AND after it).
*Currently seen on Retro TV airings of ''The Doctors'' episodes from the era (followed by the SFM Entertainment logo).
*The logo was seen on original broadcasts of ''Star Trek'' (and likely other shows that aired on NBC that were not in-house productions) but is usually edited out nowadays.
*The "PRESENTED BY THE NBC-TV NETWORK" version also made an appearance on WNBC's analog shutdown back in 2009.
*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.
'''Editor's Note:''' This is one of NBC's well-known logos, especially among NBC fans.
