The MTV VMA Moonman has become one of the most iconic images on television, but for this year's show, producers are giving it a facelift, courtesy of designer Jeremy Scott.

"From the distinct colour of the TV colour bars, to the peace sign necklace, to Jeremy's signature sneakers," the network says, "the redesign of the statue is part of MTV's long-standing history of bridging the gap between the world of fashion and music."

The redesigned award will be handed out to every winner this year, so if you want one, you'll probably have to make some significantly more famous friends.

The MTV VMAs will take place on Monday, August 31, with Miley Cyrus as host. The Weeknd is set to perform, along with some other as-yet-unannounced guests.
