I love the flexibility of the MTV logo through the years. It’s become something most logos look to achieve.. timeless.

As for MTV’s hiring practices within their in-house design department. That needs major work. I have scratched that off as places I’d love to work.

I must say though, I used to love the little animated shorts MTV would play using their logo. These are not my particular favs but only two I found on YouTube (Swallowing faces one is crazy!):

I like it. I think it allows all of the other stuff whether it be titles of songs/promos/tv shows/ what have you, to stand out on its own while the good old faithful logo is always there- like an old friend.

I’ve always thought that for brands like MTV, Urban and Burton that it made sense to have logos that could morph and change to reflect what is going on within the culture of the brand. I really wonder if in several years MTV will still be using these new rules.
