The tongue and lips logo[4] or alternatively the lips and tongue logo,[5] also known as the Hot Lips logo,[4][6] or the Rolling Stones Records logo,[7] or simply the Rolling Stones logo,[8] is a logo designed by the English art designer John Pasche for the rock band The Rolling Stones in 1970. It has been called the most famous logo in the history of popular music. The logo has remained on all post-1970 albums and singles by the Rolling Stones, in addition to the band's merchandise (from t-shirts to fire lighters) and their stage sets.[9]
