The V&A holds in its collections the original artwork for the Rolling Stones famous tongue and lips logo – one of the world's most instantly recognisable symbols of rock and roll.
Mick Jagger, singer with the Rolling Stones, commissioned John Pasche, who was then a young student at the Royal College of Art in London, to produce the logo after seeing his designs at the Royal College of Art final degree show in 1970.
In this interview John Pasche shares the fascinating story behind the commission - how the logo was inspired by an image of a hindu goddess, being told by Mick Jagger that he could do better, and being paid just £50.
