press space In the early 1920s, RCA acquired two radio stations, WEAF, acquired through a deal proposed by AT&T (yes, the phone company) in 1923, and WZJ, initially owned by Westinghouse, a shareholder in RCA. These two stations would eventually become the flagship Stations for the up-and-coming NBC, which would officially start daily Broadcasting On November 15th, 1926. On New Year's Day, 1927, the stations were split between red and blue stations. The colors represented what marketing strategy the station represented. Red carried sponsored Entertainment and music, while Blue mostly had Non-sponsored Broadcasts, Primarily news or cultural programs. On April 5th, the yellow networks would launch across the Pacific Coast, taking the role of the blue station. However, a Red station substitute would never materialize for unknown reasons. Different Variations: 1. Used for red stations 2. Used for blue stations 3. Used for yellow stations 4. B&W Version, used primarily for newspapers and film advertising 5. Print variation
Out of character stuff: This project might be surprising to some of you. Really wanted to make an Alternate logo history for quite a while since I watched Logobro’s PBS alternate history Video a few months back. But I really didn't know what to choose. That was until I went to visit my dad for the week. On the way to see a parade, I saw some graffiti on a building. It was a peacock with the text NBC on the side. This was the inspiration I needed. So I decided to go with NBC as my Subject. This is the first iteration of a series, and an eventual video adaptation sometime in the future. Do not expect a consistent Posting schedule for this series. This logo alone was a pain to make, so future iterations will not be any easier. I'm somewhat proud of how this turned out. Do I think this could be better? Definitely. But in the 30 or so minutes that I took to create this, I think I did a decent job Credits: Logo made by: Me. Logos made with: Scratch, imgflip (For print logo) Inspiration from: Logobro, Random graffiti artist
