42 years ago today, April 6, 1971, The Rolling Stones announced that they had formed their own record company, named Rolling Stones Records. They also introduced their new logo.

The big red mouth Rolling Stones logo, also known as the “Tongue and Lip Design”, was created by the British graphic designer John Pasche.

The Rolling Stones logo actually represents the intense and rebellious mouth of Mick Jagger. The tongue is basically an indication to the Hindu goddess Kali, goddess of everlasting energy, and signifies the use of free expression in their music. The Rolling Stones logo is unique, mirthful, and beautifully brings out the emotion we experience listening to their music.

The red color to the whole mouth gives it sensuous and a sort of insolent look, depicting the passion and vitality that lies in the Rolling Stones compositions.

The band has mostly used no font in their logo as the mouth itself wonderfully conveys the message it has intended to deliver.

The Rolling Stones logo is very eye-catching and has gained extremely popularity all over the world. Hence we can classify it among the most instantly recognized logos ever created.
