Having purchased a 51% stake in NBCUniversal in 2011 and looking to revitalize their crippled brand, Comcast decided to shed the red crescent motif and adopted the 1986 NBC peacock logo. It was unveiled on December 10, 2012, and officially on January 1, 2013. Comcast announced that they would buy the remaining 49% of NBCUniversal from General Electric, and thus take full ownership of the company.

The custom Comcast typography includes both rounded and squared-off feet. The round ends represent Comcast's entertainment industry assets (NBCUniversal), while the squared-off ends represent the technology Comcast's cable TV and internet assets (Xfinity).

This logo is still used for Comcast Spectacor and FreeWheel.
