Second and Third year
Communication Design students from The Glasgow School of Art today unveiled
their designs for six giant MTV logos. The groups used a wide range of
materials from fur to plasticine in their designs which will now go on show
in venues across Glasgow ahead of next weekend’s the 2014 MTV EMA Awards. People are invited to send selfies with the logos and upload
them to Instagram with #iwantmyEMAtix to win a pair of VIP tickets to the event, which will be broadcast live from The SSE Hydro on 9 November.
