Most of you of a certain age will remember this. I stumbled across it the other day, and seeing it again gave me goosebumps.
This station ID (with its accompanying music) was introduced in 1962 as an attempt to get people to buy color televisions, which were new then. It was retired in 1975.
NBC (and its affiliates) still uses a multi-colored peacock in its logo, but it’s been stylized and simplified and is just not the same as the original.

I don’t clearly remember that, but I remember when a color TV was a big deal.

They replaced it with that lame “N.” (for NBC). That didn’t last long, but SNL ripped NBC a new one for it with the “dancing N” skit.

I remember this. However, the televisions we had during those years were all black and white, so I don’t remember ever seeing it in color before.

I was able to see this in color but I remember a lot of kids at school and in the neighborhood had only B&W as late as the ’70s.

I never sawi it. We received colored tvs in my country short before the 80s I still remember when my dad brought in a big colored TV and a betamax and made an open account so that i could go and rent movies as much as I wanted and he paid at the end of the month. National TV stopped at midnight and started at 6 am and in between we only saw those colors but without the bird. I was a TV kid and now and sice 2001 I hate it. I just liked it because I could watch animal channels, traveling channels and movies when I moved to Europe I had no more of that and now I think the TV is the biggest loss of time ever. I just watch a good movie or series from time to time. Im hooked on an super cool series right now 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
