rkolsen 1684 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned here considering this was announced a month and a half ago. On February 1, 2015 Telemundo's predominantly Spanish language channel (with occasional English content) will be rebranded as NBC Universo to coincide with their first Spanish language simulcast of Super Bowl XLIV. The channel will carry telenovelas, reality programming and sports content on the weekends. This year the channel has carried Noticiero Telemundo content such as the State of the Union, the canonization of Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II and the presidents speech regarding executive action to change the immigration laws. Here's their new logo which features the NBC peacock (I was having difficulty embedding the image). I wonder if this means that someday down the line they would rename Telemundo to include NBC or somehow incorporate the peacock into their logo. I didn't know where to post this, but I figured that since they carry some news content and that the WGN America thread hasn't been moved that this would be okay. If not feel free to move it.

Action Newsroom 1281 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 That logo is terrible. The logo for the network proper looks way better (probably because of the snazzy font). The programming plans do sound convincing, though. I'll give it a chance come February. As for Telemundo, I think its logo is just fine without the Peacock somewhere in it. Maybe in 10-15 years.

lugnuts6 91 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 its the 2nd rebrand of the network that began life as GEMS Television, not bad, but NBC better not even THINK about changing Telemundo's name or look ...leave that alone for history reasoning Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14108-mun2-to-be-renamed-nbc-universo/#findComment-120337 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoadStar 364 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I don't like the logo. I don't get the reason for the tail on the R going below the baseline.

lugnuts6 91 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 agreed the new logo will need getting used to,but I like how NBC is FINALLY getting agressive with Telemundo's little sibling and its mothership.

If the logo doesn't synchronize with the brand than it will be replaced. Logos are changed all the time.

rkolsen 1684 Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 I'm looking at the logo with a fresh perspective, it appears that they used the same font as they do for their NBC News logo.
