New look MTV has arrived

MTV have rebranded with new logos.

Also MTVN HD was due to rebrand as MTV Live HD on the same day but the channel is still known as MTVN HD so it’s thought this change has been postponed.

The new logos for all MTV channels are based on the same theme as those on MTV in the US, dropping the iconic “Music Television” subtext from the bottom.

Some content will also now be aired in widescreen 16:9 format.
