Basic description of the project: Since the start of MTV, Michael Jackson has had a strong influence on the channel.
MTV wanted to honour the King of pop by searching for a worthy expression of sadness to denote his passing. The idea relies on the well known, global symbol of mourning - the black ribbon, which is combined with a typical Michael Jackson pose. Thanks to many communication channels, such as the internet, TV, print and posters, a large target group was reached.
