Through most of the 1970's, NBC had stopped using the peacock, and the network was at the bottom of the ratings as ABC soared with all of its "Charlie's Angels" and "Happy Days"-type garbage. NBC paid thousands of dollars to have a new logo designed, a stylish two-color "N", and they found out it infringed on a Nebraska TV station that had nearly the same logo (for $68!). Finally, NBC went back to the (redesigned) peacock, made a big deal out of it, and dominated ratings through the 1980's and beyond.
