Comcast NBCUniversal

2004 – 2011

In 2004, Vivendi Universal sold a majority of Universal Entertainment to General Electric who combined it with NBC to create a company which was owned 80 percent by GE and 20 percent by Vivendi. NBC Universal was created on May 11, 2004.

The logo came into use on the same day. It was an amalgam of the NBC and Universal logos. It featured the names NBC and Universal written in all-caps with a Copperplate-like font. Between the two names were the NBC peacock, and this was all enclosed by the outline of a globe, which had been used by Universal businesses for some time.

In December 2009, it was announced that an agreement had been reached to sell a majority of the company to Comcast. NBC Universal would merge with Comcast's programming interests and would be owned 51 percent be the cable company, with GE retaining a 49 percent share. The deal was cleared by regulators in January 2011, and Vivendi soon sold its share of the company to GE. The deal was closed on January 28, and the "new" NBCUniversal Inc. was created.[3]

During a employee "town hall" meeting on January 27, 2011, were the effects of the Comcast's aquisition of NBC Universal were discussed, a new logo for the media company was unveiled. The new logo is simplified, and removes the NBC peacock and the Universal globe outline. It was reported that executives found the old logo "busy".

A voice-over from the logo presentation explained "We aren't a family of two favorite sons, rather one filled with talented people and companies all tied for first".

The NBC peacock will still be used for the NBC network, as well as the news channels CNBC, MSNBC, and associated NBC businesses. The new wordmark is mainly intended for corporate use and it was reported that it wouldn't usually be facing costumers.

The new logo was created by Wolff Olins, who also helped create a new typefaces on which the logo was based.
