There will be no changes or updates to the channel logo of VH1 Classic (DStv 323) after the main VH1 channel, no longer seen in South Africa, updated and changed its brand identity to purple lettering now incorporating an ambiguously pluristic "+" sign.
MultiChoice dumped the VH1 channel after years from its DStv channel line-up in November in South Africa.
VH1 was replaced with VH1 Classic which is also supplied by Viacom International Media Networks Africa (VIMN Africa) and is more music video centred than VH1 which has steadily transformed into a popular culture and reality fare channel similar to MTV.
"There are no plans to phase in the new VH1 logo into VH1 Classic in Sub-Saharan Africa, or other non-US markets, at this time," VIMN Africa tells me.
