The tongue that is the most used version is not the original.

In all regard to the double gleam change? John Pasche.

There are more differences than just the double gleam. It's completely redrawn. You're saying Pasche did both?
Of course, regardless of this guy Pashce, you are correct. That's who he copped it from.Quote

There is the orignal, which is rounder, brighter red and the one gleam, and then the second one, the refined, more slimlined, darker red with a double gleam that has been used the most.
Why would that not be John Pasche's? The guy in the video's version looks nothing like Pasche's version; it looks like a kid did it.
Perhaps Pasche went for symetry and used a double gleam. Maybe Jagger thought it was too bright red so he made it darker. Maybe Jagger thought it was too round and wanted to be able to make it fit better regardless of the size...

I would say the first one is more refined, actually. The second more common version looks cruder (probably on purpose).
As to your question, "Why would that not be John Pasche's?" I'm only asking. To my eye the double gleam version looks different enough from the original that it could have been done by someone else based on the original design.
I was hoping someone here actually had information about the design process, not just guesses.

A fourth design ..... only a red image printed on a yellow background.
I bought the album in April 1971 in England.

Ernie Cefalu's logo is ugly. He talks too much. He probably stole the idea and said it was originally his.
