Mick Jagger’s lips and tongue will forever be immortalized on the walls of a museum. According to cnn.com, a London museum announced Tuesday that it has bought the original artwork for The Rolling Stones’ logo: a lips and mouth modeled after the lead singers.
The logo was designed by John Pashe in 1970, after Pashe met Jagger and was taken aback by the singers lips and mouth and was first used on the band’s Sticky Fingers album. London’s Victoria and Albert Museum bought the work at an American auction for $92,500. The head of the exhibitions for the museum’s theater and performance collections said the lips have become “arguably the world’s most famous rock logo.”
Pashe, who designed the logo as an art student, said the money from the sale would go to a rocking cause: sending his 11-year-old to private school.
