1977–1981 (pre-launch)
Before MTV's official launch, Warner Cable (under its two-way interactive cable television system QUBE) launched a specialized channel called Sight on Sound in 1977, which would later evolve into MTV. A similar experiment was done on QUBE's channel C-3, which would later become MTV's sister network Nickelodeon in 1979.
1980–1981 (pre-launch)
Typography: ITC Eras Bold Launched: May 5, 1980 Before its official launch, MTV was originally known as MTV: The Music Channel. Its initial logo was created by Manhattan Design and finalized on May 5, 1980, but was later scrapped due to the designers' efforts to incorporate the MTV name into the logo being an "unqualified disaster", according to creative director Fred Seibert.
1981–1994
Typography: Helvetica Black (modified) Kabel Black Launched: April 13, 1981 (advertising) August 1, 1981 (launch) MTV was officially launched on August 1, 1981, with a logo designed by Manhattan Design's Patty Rogoff and Frank Olinsky under the creative direction of Fred Seibert (who, along with his partner Alan Goodman, would go on to oversee the rebrands of Nickelodeon, Lifetime, VH1, and The Movie Channel through their joint agency of Fred/Alan). The block letter "M" was sketched by Rogoff, and the scribbled word "TV" was spraypainted by Olinksky. Unlike most television networks at that time, MTV's logo was constantly branded with different colors, patterns and images on a variety of station IDs.
1994–2010
Typography: Helvetica Black (modified) Launched: May 31, 1994 In 1994, the logo was slightly redrawn, with the "MUSIC TELEVISION" text changed to Helvetica Black.
2010–2021
Typography: Helvetica Neue Black Launched: February 8, 2010 Since 2008 on the premiere of FNMTV, the network had shown a chopped down version of its logo during most of its on-air programming. This became MTV's main logo on February 8, 2010, when it made its official debut on its website. This logo is essentially a cropped and updated version of the simplified variant, with the "MUSIC TELEVISION" text eliminated, most likely to reflect the network's dramatic decrease in music-related programming (although it started to shift its focus back in 2016).

Apr 23, 2021 · The first 80s MTV logo by Manhattan Design was used by the Music Television from 1981 to 1994, proving to be one of the most versatile logos ever. There are endless variations on the fat M that “has movement even as it sits there” and “has action because something is always being done to it”, as recalled by Fred Siebert.
