NBC Universal has changed their logo to a more modern, "cleaner" look - but is the new logo really what they were going for?

Ouch!

We think we like it - The globe silhouette and colors are now gone - and NBCUniversal is one word, one solid color. We like the idea - not sure about the font though.

HuffPo reports that the peacock will remain part of the brand of NBC, the broadcaster, while the spinning globe will still be part of the graphic for Universal, the movie studio and theme park operator. And officially, the company's name is still NBC Universal.

But the space-less corporate logo is meant to represent the unity of its two main divisions as it is set to be taken over by cable operator Comcast in a deal that is to close on Friday.
