The camera pans below to some huge text, which is revealed to be "BE THERE", sitting on a black floor with red lines scrolling. The camera pans back to show another three-dimensional model of the aforementioned logo in front of the lettering. Then a dotted shine of light reveals the text "LET'S ALL." It then zooms through the letter "E."
Variants:
Technique: CGI animated by Pacific Data Images on a DEC VAX-11/780. The modelling and animation was done on an IMI 500 display, and the lighting and rendering were done on a DeAnza framebuffer. The final logo was recorded to 1" C videotape on an Sony BVH-2000. This logo was designed by Harry Marks, who also designed the 1983-1989 Entertainment Tonight intro and the 1988-1989 ABC "Something's Happening" promotional film.
Music/Sounds: The campaign's song "Let's All Be There." Composed by David Buskin. Arranged and Conducted by Rob Mounsey.

The camera then pans around to reveal the NBC logo in the top-left corner of the wall. Right below it in the middle-left is the words "Let's all", flashing in pink, in the middle-right is the word "BE", and at the bottom-right is the word "THERE". It then zooms in to the wall and flies away across the screen.

Most of the time, an announcer (Danny Dark) can be heard saying "This is the NBC Television Network!" On the Seven ID with colourful buildings, an instrumental and pop music-styled version of the music is heard in a different pitch.
Music/Sounds Variants: These are all variants of the network version.
Availability: Long extinct. Check old off-air recordings of the period. Your best bet will probably be searching for PDI demo reels, as this ID appeared on several of them. The local station variants are even more difficult to find due to their local nature. According to several comments on YouTube, this ID would often be used to start NBC's primetime programming in the '85-'86 season and would occasionally appear during the middle of the primetime schedule.
