The iconic Rolling Stones tongue and lips logo was designed by John Pasche.
The Origins of an Iconic Design
John Pasche, then a young student at the Royal College of Art in London, was commissioned by Mick Jagger, the lead singer of the Rolling Stones, to create the distinctive logo. Jagger initiated the commission after being impressed by Pasche's designs showcased at the Royal College of Art's final degree show in 1970.
| Creator | Commissioned By | Year of Commission | Background |
|---|---|---|---|
| John Pasche | Mick Jagger | 1970 | Student at Royal College of Art |
Pasche's design has since become one of the most recognizable and enduring band logos in the history of music, transcending its origins to become a global symbol of rock and roll.
