The films use accurate scientific data but we have tried to presentit in an engaging, entertaining way.

MTV idents.

Tue, 2 Mar 2010 23:43:04 GMT

Over one year ago we spent an enjoyable few months making about one hundred TV identsfor MTV. It all came from our branding idea designed to make the MTV UK channels looklike they belong to the same network. The idea was that each channel was represented bya character and all the characters lived together in a house—which represents the network. We finally uploaded fifty of the idents to the portfolio section of our website. See them here: MTV One, MTV Two, MTV Dance, MTV Hits, MTV Base, MTV Network idents.
