Does MTV's New Logo Look Too Mainstream?

MTV has “updated” their iconic logo. Personally, I think it’s a sad thing.

“Music is still at the center of so much of what we do, but we’ve really expanded what that means,” Stephen Friedman, MTV’s general manager,  said. “We needed the logo to be flexible enough to have the artists within it but also the stars of our shows. It’s an updating that speaks to this audience in a much simpler, bolder way.”
