0:11 - That's impressive if that was taped in 1944... kinescopes weren't around until 1947. I'm inclined to believe that the logo was introduced in 1944... but the actual recording dates to between 1947 and 1951.
I believe that NBC News music from the 1960s would have scared the hell out of me.My parents must have watched NBC all the time, because I clearly can remember the peacock and the harps announcing the program is in living color. What was Hot Dog and Jambo? I remember NBC see us,I loved Little House On The Prairie, I never missed it. It started on Wednesday night then moved to Mondays.I watched ER religiously until it was cancelled, And remember American Dreams?
@Sheri451 "Hot Dog" and "Jambo" were two different shows that aired on Saturday mornings around 1971. "Hot Dog" was "a program about stuff" and featured Woody Allen, JoAnne Worley and Jonathan Winters. "Jambo" was a "Daktari"-style program about wild animals, starring Marshall Thompson and Judy the chimp.
@davemadson Thank You for the information. I don't really remember NBC's cartoon lineup I mostly watched The Archies and Sabrina The Teenaged Witch. But somewhere in the back of my mind I can remember a Judy the Chimp.
Awesome video! I'd also add that NBC got the crap sued out of them (and lost) over the block "N" logo. Nebraska Public Television had been using it for years!
@MrTelematic Interesting you should mention something about that. Not too long ago, I saw an early episode of "NBC's Saturday Night", which would eventually become "Saturday Night Live", and during weekend update, Chevy Chase mentioned that logo, and the businesses and organizations that used logos similar to it. I think NPT was one of them.
@bluebear1985 Wow, great memory! My first memory of Saturday Night was for the Trac 3 Razor: "The first blade pulls it out, the second blade pulls it out even further, and the third cuts it off BENEATH the skin surface!" I was hooked from that day 'til now!
@MrTelematic I can't say keeping the logo and forcing NET to make a brand new one is "losing", even if it did cost them a bit. The N lasted them a whole decade.

That 1968 Special logo with all the flashing "SPECIAL" text must have given people seizures.

Bravo! Thanks for that great compilation of NBC logos. I especially liked the "Living Color" ones from the 60's.

Does anyone notice that the watermark on the logo at 2:45 means that the logo is historically signifigant as one of the earliest computer animations?
RLY, a computer animation from 1976, and I'm the only person who realizes it?
