That's the "use it or lose it" company logo or trademark policy that is being discussed on this thread. I think the word "Victrola" which dates to RCA's earliest days is no longer used. The term "Golden Throat" sound is also long gone in favor of more hi tech words. The old RCA logo with the lightning bolt is still the logo for RCA Records and the RCA Victor label which uses the RCA Victor logo used on tv's & radios in the 50's is a division of BMG Music owned by Sony. And of course "Nipper"the dog was dropped and then resurrected in the late 80's. "His Master's Voice" is probably also owned by who ever has these tradmarks. GE, BMG/Sony,TCL China- Thomson or god knows who. Of course TCL- China/Thomson has the rights to the GE/RCA brand logos for their consumer electronics, Not to be confused with some GE produced appliances which are licensed by Black & Decker, Then there are the large appliances division owned by GE which also owns and manufacturers RCA & Hotpoint appliances. The Peacock is copyright by GE Corp. which owns NBC/Universal. Whew!
