Rolling Stones tongue and lips logo.

The Rolling Stones logo is arguably one of the most iconic band logos in musical history. Featuring on the band's albums, posters and merchandise since its creation in 1970, the legendary logo is a standout piece of bold iconography that has truly stood the test of time – but its origins have been subject to conflicting mythologies.

In a recent interview, Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger shared the inspiration behind the logo, confirming that without a little bit of divine intervention, we wouldn't have gotten the iconic symbol that we know and love today.
