We posted about MTV's new international rebrand (created by MTV's creative directors in collaboration with Universal Everything) back in July this year. Now a new batch of idents which continue the "Pop x 1000%" brief are about to go live - see them here...

The new idents see Universal Everything working with no less than 24 collaborators in nine different countries. "After the first phase of idents which were of a very abstract bias, this second phase of films had us working with live action and a lot more collaborators," says Universal Everything's Matt Pike of the idents. "The other great thing about these films is we were able to get on with them without having to 'pitch' them to MTV - which is creatively very liberating," he adds. "I don't think we could have achieved these results if we hadn't worked in this way - and that's why we've been turning down opportunities to pitch for work this year."

Here are the six new films:
