Rolling Stones fans know the logo well! Hell everybody knows this iconic image!

Priced separately.

Will look nice hanging above a bar or anywhere. I drill a little hole in the back or simply put him on a shelf and enjoy.

* Please note because this item is handmade and a piece of art, no two pieces are identical, but they are close!

History Lesson:

Officially called “Tongue and Lips,” but usually just the Rolling Stones’ tongue, the image was designed by artist John Pasche in 1969 after Mick Jagger approached the Royal College of Art hoping to commission images for the band’s use. Originally, the Stones wanted a striking piece of art to use on posters advertising their upcoming European tour in 1970. Pasche’s design was picked and he was given a further assignment: create something bold that the band could re-use in a multitude of ways. Pasche—who had previously designed posters for several British films—and Jagger met, and the artist was shown a piece of artwork depicting the Indian goddess Kali, whose tongue was sticking out in the painting. Pasche went to work and came up with the tongue and lips design, now so ubiquitous (the bright red was added later by an Atlantic Records executive). Contrary to long-held rumors, Pasche did not base the logo on Jagger’s own famously protruding lips (although Pasche did acknowledge that said lips were quite prominent when one stared at the singer’s face close up). The Stones first used the tongue logo on VIP passes given out for their March 26, 1971, concert at London’s Marquee club. The image first came into view on a wide scale when the band used it on the insert inside the Sticky Fingers LP, and the record label itself, just weeks after the London show.
