Comcast claims 26-Year-Old Peacock as their own. - Polidicks

[url]http://www.theverge.com/2012/12/11/3754220/comcast-logo-nbc-peacock[/url] [quote]Comcast has unveiled a new, but familiar, logo in the wake of its merger with NBC. The company's site now boasts a logo topped by the NBC peacock, previously used only for NBC-affiliated channels. The peacock is one of the best-known American media symbols, and it's a bit strange to see it linked to the part of Comcast better known for installing cable and internet. According to The Wall Street Journal, the logo will replace Comcast's current one on trucks, advertisements, and cable bills, though Comcast services themselves will continue to be use the Xfinity brand.[/quote] [img]http://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/comcast_logo_detail.png[/img]

Can't blame them, very recognizable logo.

Seeing the logo with Comcast under it just feels so... [i]wrong[/i].

that's their logo? looks lazy as fuck

How will this merger effect NBC's shows? NBC is one of the only cable networks that produces shows I actually enjoy like Parks & Rec and 30 Rock.

A cable network merging with my internet provider. This could only go well..

That look out of place. And painfully unoriginal. Even the red "c" logo was more original.

comcast fucking blows

the font in that logo angers me because the letters have both round and square ends on them

Holy shit I just realized that the NBC logo is a peacock. I thought it was just some pretty colors

[QUOTE=Uber|nooB;38793619]the font in that logo angers me because the letters have both round and square ends on them[/QUOTE] Christ, that is obnoxious. [editline]11th December 2012[/editline] It wouldn't be so bad if it was rounded at upper points and flat at the bottom, but the way the M has both a rounded and a flat edge is really odd.

Wait, the NBC logo is a peacock? I always thought it was some sort of half-a-rainbow-orange fruit thing.

Fuck comcast. Fuck em I say.

[QUOTE=Olas;38792731]How will this merger effect NBC's shows? NBC is one of the only cable networks that produces shows I actually enjoy like Parks & Rec and 30 Rock.[/QUOTE] as far as I know, the merger happened like last year. The whole "kabletown" merger in 30 Rock is a parallel to this one

[QUOTE=DOG-GY;38796823]it's terrible[/QUOTE] It's artistically terrible.

The text should be smaller and the logo should be bigger and it should fit under each other
