And another icon bites the dust... sorta...

It was announced today that NBC Universal will now be NBCUniversal under new owner Comcast. The new parent company has turfed the peacock and the globe for a simple typographic treatment.

The bird will remain part of the NBC brand while the spinning globe will still be Universal's graphic for consumers. And officially, the company's name is still NBC Universal.
