The Story
Size:34 x 39 in.
John Pasche’s Rolling Stones Logo (23" x 28") is a vivid and bold depiction of one of the most iconic symbols in music history. The hot lips and tongue design is instantly recognisable and continues to represent the rebellious energy and enduring spirit of rock and roll. This original painting revisits the timeless imagery Pasche created in 1970 while he was a student at the Royal College of Art.
The logo's genesis began when Mick Jagger approached Pasche to create a distinctive visual identity for the Rolling Stones. Drawing inspiration from a picture of the Hindu goddess Kali, with her extended red tongue, and the rebellious act of sticking out one's tongue, Pasche envisioned a logo that would encapsulate the band’s anti-establishment ethos. First appearing as an insert for the Sticky Fingers album in 1971, the design soon became the official emblem for Rolling Stones Records and has since adorned every album and piece of merchandise released by the band.
The simplicity and boldness of the design ensure its universal appeal. Pasche’s work transcends generations, resonating with fans worldwide. Today, the original artwork is preserved in the permanent collection of the V&A Museum, a testament to its cultural significance and Pasche’s remarkable creative vision.
