The MTV Streetmuse graphic elements, typography and patterns have been created to reflect different urban locations around the world, while yet resonating universally. The icons created for each city have been collaged together to create a range of unique graphic "lock-ups", without being clichéd or tourist. Elements from different cities have then been combined to create playful global "mash-ups" highlighting the subtle differences and similarities that all cities share, including streetscape elements such a coffee cups, bins and street signs.
MTV Streetmuse captures the MTV brand’s cult heritage and modern day irreverence, resulting in a mix of muted grey and black toned designs, as well as brighter, fluorescent color schemes - a music infused graphical journey through the streets of the world. In addition to the MTV Streetmuse program, MTV has also developed a high-end program focusing in a single unique element or aspect of a city.
The international merchandising program for MTV Streetmuse includes a men's street wear line from fashion retailer Zara, comprising urban-inspired men's t-shirts and hoodies and launched in Zara stores around the world in March 2009.
