Not the fonts; the lawsuit.

best logo story ever: NBC spent $1 million to redesign their peacock logo in 1975, only to be successfully sued for trademark infringement by Nebraska Public TV, who paid $100 for theirs pic.twitter.com/3rxEukoD2z

It gets better.

I've actually used this as an example of trademark infringement in class. Nebraska ETV sued NBC in 1976. Parties reached an out-of-court settlement. NBC kept logo but provided $800k in equipment and paid $55k to develop a new logo for Nebraska ETV. About $4mm in today's dollars.

Best hundred bucks they ever spent.

Reminds me a bit of the AMC logo too.

Well, $100 plus legal fees.
.
Still probably quite the bargain.
