Item Description

N-B-C - you can hear the three chimes and you instantly recognize you are watching or hearing about something related to the National Broadcasting Company.

Here we have a commemorative set of seven (7) pins with the various logos the company has had over the last 70 years. The collection features the following logo pins:

1943 - First TV logo, modified from the NBC Radio Network logo

1954 - Xylophone and mallet introduced, accompanying by the "bing-bong-bing" chimes

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

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

1975 - Peacock retired for modernist update. Abstract "N" featured one red and one blue trapezoid

1980 - A compromise, "The Proud N" still had 11 feathers, yet the shapes were simplified

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