Peacock logo and wordmark used since May 12, 1986
On May 12, 1986, during the finale of the
NBC 60th Anniversary Celebration
TV special, past and present NBC stars stood on stage to introduce a new logo – a simplified peacock icon, ending the arranged "marriage" of "N" and Peacock (the "Proud N"). Although NBC had been popularly known as "the peacock network" for some time, it was the first time that "The Bird" had been used as NBC's official symbol all by itself.

The peacock's head was now flipped to the right – this was done to suggest as if it was looking forward to the future, not back to the past. The 11 feathers of its previous peacock logo were pared down to six to represent NBC's six divisions:

News
(yellow),
Sports
(orange), Entertainment (red),
Stations
(purple), Network (blue), and
Productions
(green). The shape of the peacock's body was also simplified, becoming vertically elongated, and removing the tips at the bottom and above the head. The little slit in the purple feather is meant to represent the peacock's beak. The bottom of the peacock evokes a lens shutter. Incorporating the six
primary
and
secondary colors
in the RYB color palette, this Peacock, redesigned by Steff Geissbuhler at
Chermayeff & Geismar
,

remains one of the world's most recognized logos. The network maintains specific guidelines for the logo, including proper colors for reproduction, using either
RGB
,
CMYK
, or
Pantone
colors. The usage guidelines are contained in the NBC Logo Legal Usage Guidelines, which is distributed to NBC employees involved in graphics as well as outside vendors, such as advertising agencies, who may need to use the logo.
After the logo's introduction on May 12, 1986, many of NBC's affiliates (especially the stations part of NBC's O&O group at the time: WNBC-TV in
New York City
,
KNBC-TV
in
Los Angeles
,
WMAQ-TV
in
Chicago
,
KCNC-TV
in
Denver
,
WRC-TV
in
Washington, D.C.
and
WKYC-TV
in
Cleveland
) started adding the new peacock to their station identification. However, a few stations still kept the previous "Proud N" from 1979 at least until the end of the 1986–87
television season
, and NBC itself retained the "Proud N" in the title sequence for its movie/mini-series presentations. Because of this, the new logo was not universally adopted until the fall of 1987. Even then, at least one NBC affiliate,
WTOV-TV
in
Steubenville, Ohio
, was using the "Proud N" logo until March 1988.
KOAA
in
Pueblo
-
Colorado Springs, Colorado
while adopting the new peacock logo also held on to their variation of the "Proud N" which had their analog channels five and translator channel 30 in Colorado Springs on the logo in place of the peacock. KOAA adopted a new 5/30 logo without the "Proud N" logo in 1988.
This logo first appeared as an
on-screen bug
in the 1993–94 television season, appearing only during the
opening sequences
of programs and staying on-screen throughout the duration of programs as a separate translucent bug beginning with the 1994–95 season. Until the 2004–05 season, the bottom-screen logo bug featured a variety of effects that resulted in its formation (such as the six feathers rotating into the form of the logo with the peacock's body being formed when the feathers were in place or a white flag containing the logo wiping the logo bug on-screen), usually during a show's opening sequence. Until the 2008–09 season, a
screensaver
-style sequence featuring these logo effects against a black background was also used as a placeholder graphic during slots within commercial breaks allocated to local stations to
insert
commercials and station promotions, some NBC affiliates also ran the sequence through the network feed in the event of technical difficulties with inserting local advertising (a placeholder logo graphic remains in use, although since the 2009–10 season, the animation used has changed to match the network's imaging of the current timeframe).
