The white half has also revealed the word "PEACOCK" in Bank Gothic, and another yellow feather curves around the one on the bottom half to reveal "PRODUCTIONS", also in Bank Gothic. By the end of the logo, "NBC" is passing through the white half, and "PEACOCK" is passing through the large yellow feather in the black half.
