Thanks John.
John Sykes is a collector. That is, aside from being one of the most influential media executives of the last quarter century; he was a charter member and critical force in the original MTV launch team, the VH1 president who originated Behind the Music, and the Chairman of Infinity Broadcasting.
But, to me, he’s my hero for saving this t-shirt. Manhattan Design was Frank Olinsky, Pat Gorman, and Pat Rogoff, and they designed the original, innovative, and revolutionary MTV logo. They were the sole employee-owners and their company was small enough to fit in a room behind a tai chi studio in Greenwich Village.
John has saved every t-shirt from the first five or ten years of MTV, (he must drive his family crazy), and he must be cleaning his closets out, because he just sent this over.
Thanks John, you’re the greatest.

Wish I still had mine! I do have my MTV 1st Birthday T-shirt, though. (As well as my original Pee Wee Herman fan club shirt).
Funny to stumble upon you, Fred. You might remember me as Mark Larson’s ex-wife, and Rich Frankel’s friend. Still in touch with Rich (saw him a few weeks ago). God knows HOW I wound up here…just Googling stuff on a lazy Sunday afternoon! Gotta love the ether.
