Initially, in 2013, the flagship channel MTV3 dropped the historic owl symbol and introduced a new circular logo. However, in October 2016, the owl symbol was brought back in principle, as part of the channel’s Koko ilta kotimaista (Homeland All Evening) campaign where locally-produced shows were shown in the evenings. The logo animation now includes the owl symbol that segues into the MTV(3) logo.
In August 2019, MTV3 removed the circle altogether, though it remains for the corporate logo. MTV Uutiset, the broadcaster’s news division, had already removed the circle during a minor rebrand in December 2018.
