Fun stuff, but this seems like some severely retro-fitted bullshit by somebody somewhere:

#1 NBC (Image 22 of 22) Most of us are pretty familiar with the peacock hiding in the network's official logo but there's a lot more than meets the eye. The rainbow palette of its feathers is supposed to state that NBC is a channel not just for Americans, but for citizens of all ethnicities.

"hiding"? No way, that thing's been there damn near forever, since NBC/RCA were the driving force behind color tv, the programming driving the sales and vice-versa..

In fact, that peacock was originally accompanied by some pretty....belligerent music!

They chilled his ass out, finally, thankfully.

Jim, I agree with you that the explanation of the peacock's colors is BS. That sounds like something NBC's current owners made up.

I also doubt very much that the Coca-Cola logo has anything to do with the Swiss flag.

I can accept taht that's what they "portray" it as now, I mean hey, imaging/reimaging/etc, ok, I know, it's only marketing/evolution of image/survival, but I understand it. Still hold up there People Of Today, know your history, the NBC Peacock is one old fucker by now, do not be deceived otherwise!

The Coke thing sounded spurious to me too. Truthfully, the Exxon thing is questionable to me, at least as much as anytime having to do with Hidden Masonic Imagery does, which is some, not all, and always maybe. Besides, I got beef enough against Exxon in general with or without any of all that!

But back to NBC...there is an amazing (or perhaps not) amount of YouTube content devoted to things like logos, theme musics, those production company blips that are at the endo fo every show, etc. Here's one for NBC that rolls it pretty much all out:

Most of these symbols are neither hidden nor subliminal (i.e., below the threshold of consciousness), but instead are the product of creative design. Funny how some people are amazed or suspicious of intelligence and creativity.

Many years ago, I was at a restaurant with a good buddy and we were drinking a nice bottle of wine. I commented on how I always thought they did a good job with their logo by incorporating the ravens into it. He said that in all the years he'd been drinking their wine, he never saw the ravens until I just pointed it out to him. :)
