Best Band Logo in Rock ‘n’ Roll
If you ask me, the best logo in rock ‘n’ roll is the Rolling Stones tongue logo, created by John Pasche, a 25-year-old student in his last year at the Royal College of Art in London in 1970. Pasche designed at least 90 percent of the logo, which was then finalized by a designer named Craig Braun.
Braun added more prominent white highlights on the tongue and raised the teeth enough to reveal a bit of black inside the mouth. At the same time, Braun was working with Andy Warhol to create one of the best album covers in rock, Sticky Fingers. The new logo was to be put on the album.
Why is this logo so effective? Its red color quickly catches your attention. It's simple. It also has sexual connotations. It's a rebellious symbol, like a kid sticking their tongue out at you. So rock ‘n’ roll. Anti-authority all the way.
According to Radio X, Mick Jagger formed the concept of the tongue from a newspaper clipping showing the Hindu Goddess Kali with her tongue sticking out.
In the words of Larry David, pretty pretty, pretty good!
