	1943 First TV logo, modified from NBC Radio Network logo.

	1954 Xylophone and mallet introduced, accompanied by "bing-bong-bing" chimes.

	1956 For era of "living color," NBC unveiled "The Bird," 11-feathered Peacock in six colors.

	1959 To accompany the Peacock, "Snake" ran at the end of programs. Each letter "grew" from the "N."

	1959 During the "Laramie" western series a second version of the famed "Peacock" was introduced.

	1975 Mr Roberts from Denver writes... In 1975 there was a short-lived (very short-lived) logo that lasted just long enough for the Nebraska Educational Television Network to yell, "Hey, that's OUR logo!! You boys in Noo York are in a heeep o' trouble NOW!" And quicker than you can say, "Ohmygod! Would you buncha broadhusker corncasters like some new equipment to drop that suit?" it was off the air and Nebraska was the proud owner of some of the latest in broadcast gear.


	1980 A compromise. "The Proud N" still had 11 feathers, but shapes were simplified.

	1986 "The Bird" returns as one of the world's most recognized logos. Six feathers represent the network's six divisions.
