Think they'll mutate the tongue logo again if they do a new record? The last release they put out with the normal tongue and lips logo was Stripped. Ever since Steel Wheels they've pretty much had a different tongue (Flashpoint and Live Licks was normal). I know the cover of Licks was different.

I thought the Bigger Bang tongue was, well, not very interesting.

They did one for She's So Cold, why didn't they do one on fire for She Was Hot?

Got me licked ... why didn't they ?

I found it!

So, all you artists on IORR, who can come up with a new design?

I always quite liked the spiked tongue from the Voodoo tour.

Well, if the next tongue is the original tongue, then I guess it's a wrap.

Of course it'll be a new tongue - fresh T-shirts, merchandise and more $$$.

mickijaggeroo, there are a couple missing from that one you put up, including the original!

That tongue gallery doesn't have the original tongue either.

The original one is still my favorite but I thought the gold one was nice too. I also liked the VL spiked one.

I think I'll get a tatoo of the original one some day.

Ones I hate:

ABB exploded tongue
Baseball tongue (I know it's all about merchandise, but this goes to far for my taste - same with rugby tongue)
Licks graffiti tongues
ABB liquid tongue

Good question!

For The Avalanche collection, it'll be some kinda mosaic tongue...



And for The Two Trains Tour, it'll of course be a stereo tongue...

I am a Frenchie ,as Mick affectionately called them in the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977 .

It looks like the Stone Crab has been boarded by a pirate!
I hope that guy got away...

If they tour again(please dont) The Tongue will have no teeth,just like the tour.

I've never seen any copy of Sticky Fingers with the original tongue.

They used this one albeit slightly different for the original release of Emotional Rescue and something else as well as well as the video content for Ain't Too Proud To Beg for the Licks tour I believe...

Yeah , the 40 Licks tongue had a 40 in the tongue.

Ha ha. Yeah, I was being facetious. I know there are more than just a couple missing ha ha.

It IS funny though, how man versions of the tongue there have been. I still like the original - with the one tongue gleam - the best, followed by what they used for Emotional Rescue.

Voodoo's tongue was very cool and I really liked the Bridges tongue.

So the image of the jacket sleeve from Sticky Fingers from Pasche's website is the only one I've seen now of the original tongue in Sticky Fingers.

Does anyone have that one and can they find a way to upload it for a better image?

It may have been posted before ,the cover story of Sticky Fingers :

“In 1969, Mick Jagger’s office rang the Royal College of Art in London and asked if there was a suitable design student to come up with designs for their 1970 European Tour poster. I was recommended and on 29 April 1970 Jo Bergman, who was running the Stone’s office at the time, wrote to me to confirm that they had commissioned me to design a poster for their forthcoming tour. At this time, I was in my final year of a graduate design course. I was very honored when Mick Jagger turned up at the College to see my final degree show as the artwork that would ultimately be used for the poster was on display in one of the exhibits.

A short time later, I met with Mick again, who then asked me to design a logo or symbol for The Rolling Stone’s new record label. Mick showed me an image of the Goddess Kali which became the starting point to our discussion regarding the design of the logo. I was paid £50 for the design, which took me about a week to complete. In 1972 I was paid an additional £200 in recognition of the logo’s success.

The design concept for the Tongue was to represent the band’s anti-authoritarian attitude, Mick’s mouth and the obvious sexual connotations. I designed it in such a way that it was easily reproduced and in a style which I thought could stand the test of time. The first use of the logo was the inner sleeve for the Sticky Fingers album. The outer sleeve was designed by Andy Warhol, hence the mix-up with the credits (Ed. Note – many have attributed the logo design to Warhol, so we’re happy to clarify this here today!). The logo was not fully registered in all countries and a German jeans company registered the logo in Germany for their own products. This situation – and the fact that the tongue was getting used by unauthorized manufacturers of badges and t-shirts – prompted the proper registration and a merchandising agreement with myself to capitalize on the success of the logo.

The simplicity of the design lent itself to many variations which were done by other designers and not myself. Due to it’s immediate popularity, the Stones kept with it over the years and I believe that it represents one of the strongest and most recognizable logos worldwide. And of course I’m proud of that. The Stones ultimately bought the copyright but I still own the hand drawn & painted artwork which, by the way, is now on sale for £200,000.

My busiest time creating artwork for the Stones was from 1970 – 1974, which included creating four tour posters. This led on to work for Paul McCartney, the Who and many other artistes and bands through to eleven years ago when I started working as Creative Director for the South Bank Centre Arts Complex in London. I left this position last April due to the closure of the Royal Festival Hall for an eighteen month renovation programme. I am now 61 years old and work as a freelance designer from my studio at home – still enjoying rock music and working as a designer.”

They were saving it for the Fatboy Slim remix of SFTD
