Upon its launch in Europe in the late 80s, MTV Europe made use of MTV US's on-air identity. Overtime, MTV Europe gradually produced its own on-air identity throughout the 1990s.

As part of a global rebranding strategy, MTV Networks International

MTV Networks International

decided to produce a new on-air identity that would air on all MTV channels around the world (except MTV US, MTV Canada and MTV Brazil. On July 1, 2009 all 64 MTV channels globally began to share the same on-air branding. This branding made use of a standardized logo, idents and promos (except MTV US, MTV Canada and MTV Brazil). The on-air branding initiative was called Pop X1000 reflecting the changing nature of popular culture with MTV at the heart of these rapid changes. The branding was designed by MTV's design department World Design Studio in Milan

in December 2009 to provide branded themed t-shirts and hoodies representing the "Pop X 1000%" campaign. As of November 8, 2010 MTV launched is third phase of idents.

In 2010, MTV US rebranded its entire network of channels producing a revised version of the traditional MTV logo.

MTV's will replace its traditional logo the MTV:Music Television logo to be replaced by the current MTV US logo..
