NBCUniversal logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Meaning and history The conglomerate’s origins can be traced back to 1950 when NBC and Universal Television in collaboration produced a number of shows for NBC.
- Yet, it was only in the spring of 2004 that NBCUniversal was created when Universal Studios’ parent company, Vivendi Universal Entertainment, sold an eighty-percent stake to General Electric, which was the parent company of NBC.
- 2004 – 2011 The original NBCUniversal logo combined the visual brand identities of the two companies that formed it, the National Broadcasting Company and Universal Pictures.
- They were used to emphasize NBC’s color programming.
- Since then, the company has used this emblem over all its history except only four years.
- And yet, it was only in 1979 that the peacock emblem became the network’s primary logo.
- In the NBCUniversal logo, the peacock was placed between the two parts of the company’s name separating them from each other.
- The circle with an elegant thin border (the so-called spinning planet) was “borrowed” from the logo of Universal Pictures.
- U.S. regulators approved the deal in early 2011.
- It looked by far simpler than its predecessor.
- This move seemed natural.
- Yet, the designers preserved some of the brand’s visual heritage.
- The purple was inspired by one of the colors from the original peacock emblem.
- Font The NBCUniversal logo released in 2011 features the Rock Serif type, which was created specifically for NBCUniversal.
