1981 “LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ROCK ’N’ ROLL.” — MTV’S CREATOR, JOHN LACK

+

On August 1, 1981, MTV, Music Television, goes on the air for the first time ever, with the words “Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll.” MTV debuted with the prophetic Buggles’ video, “Video Killed the Radio Star” proclaiming the end of radio as the primary medium for the transmission of popular music. The combination of hip visuals and hard driving rock ‘n‘ roll quickly changed the musical landscape not only in the United States but in Europe and Asia as well. In MTV’s early days, its programming consisted of basic music videos that were introduced by VJs (video jockeys) and provided for free by record companies. As the record industry recognized MTV’s value as a promotional vehicle, money was invested in making creative, cutting–edge videos. In the 1980s, MTV was instrumental in promoting the careers of performers such as Madonna, Michael Jackson, Prince and Duran Duran, whose videos played in heavy rotation.

In an effort to retain its audience, MTV began to emphasize reality shows and other types of youth oriented programming.

She had the lead in her high school musical and has been singing with different groups in clubs and at parties, but the “big break” never happened for her. She has the talent and the desire, but she keeps looking for a way to get some exposure or work with the right people.

He got married recently and his wife is encouraging him to get more serious about his photography hobby.

RECENT GRADUATE She just graduated from college in graphic design and has been freelancing jobs around town doing wedding invitations, small business brochures and online catalogs.

THE STARVING WRITER He’s been a cabdriver, a waiter and an office temp to pay the bills, but where he really puts his energy is into his writing. He started years ago with short stories and novels which he still has in the file case in his apartment. Now he’s working on a film script which he knows has potential, but he’s stuck in a city with no production companies or facilities. He’s hoping one day someone will get in his cab, give him a name or a phone number—a connection.


SYMBOL

MEDIA, TRANSFORMATION + MISSION MTV BRAND IDENTITY PRINCIPLES

The new MTV is about change, evolution, information and action. Our new logo uses the triangle symbol to represent change, the flash symbol stands for instant illumination, the sudden blazing flash of insight and recognition. The combination of the two symbols with a solid base denotes stability, reliability, and support. The new logo visualizes the new goal—transformation to a higher level.

NEW SKILLS DISCOVERY CENTER Artists tend to become specialists often developing a skill in which they have a proven aptitude and neglecting others which could support and improve their work. The New Skills Discovery Center brings together a diverse range of talented artists and instructors to focus on the acquisition of new and complementary skills. For example, the writer can learn to visualize his story or concept through photography. The singer can unlock his abilities as a filmmaker. These newly acquired skills can transform their projects and take them to another level of creativity.
