Question: How many feathers did the original NBC peacock have?
Answer: The first NBC peacock logo, designed to appear on its rare color TV broadcasts, debuted in 1956 with 11 brightly colored feathers. The peacock went through a variety of changes through the years, but the biggest one came in 1986, when the modern peacock brand was born: It had six differently colored feathers, one for each division at NBC, including news, sports, entertainment and so on. With minor adjustments, that remains the familiar NBC peacock to this day. Here’s a look at the evolution.
