John Pasche, a Royal College of Art graduate, created the iconic Rolling Stones tongue and lips logo in 1970 at Mick Jagger's request. Inspired by the Hindu goddess Kali, this legendary design debuted on the band's 1970 European tour and later appeared on the Sticky Fingers album. The logo became a cultural touchstone, voted the greatest band logo of all time in 2008. This signed screenprint captures the original artwork that transformed popular music imagery and remains one of the most recognizable symbols in rock history.
