Just that, with 45 years of hindsight, he should have asked for a whole lot more.

John Pasche got:
£50 - First payment - [www.iorr.org]
£200 - Payment in 1972 - [www.iorr.org]
£26,000 - sold the 'Tongue&Lips' logo rights to The Rolling Stones in 1984 - [www.nytimes.com]
£50,000 - the Victoria & Albert Museum in London (UK) bought his original artwork in 2008 - [www.nytimes.com]
5x £65,000 - in 2009 Pasche reached an agreement with The Rolling Stones permitting him to produce just five original and unique artworks based on the original design - [www.belgraviagallery.com]
He got total £401,250 for his 'Tongue&Lips' logo. Whether this is sufficient in consideration of the logo's success, is another question ....

The 50 year anniversary tongue was changed slightly from the new tongue.
Has anyone been able to figure out what's different about it?

Black stroke separating tongue from right tooth is different thickness.
Main difference appears to be the black shape at the back of the tongue... rounder in the old one, flattened in the recent version.
I prefer the old one

I don't think Shepherd Fairey is much good, personally. I agree with you that the "5t0nes" thing is amateurish, and the tongue is just an inattentive redrawing.

Check out most of the sports team tongues that have been marketed on the Zip Code tour if you want to see amateurish and done in 5 minutes on photoshop versions. Talk about diluting a great piece of art in order to capitalize on fanatical sports fans.

Did he now? Were you there in NYC at the Decca offices when Marshall Chess started this in motion? If you are "that guy" you know how things work in the art world. One guy does an initial design, gives it to the person paying for the effort, they like it and give it to another artist who does a slightly different version. It serves to both improve it and obscure it's true origins.
Why would a guy with over 120 album covers to his name and a trail of successes pick this one thing to associate himself with if it wasn't true?

I listened to the Spotify STICKY FINGERS edition and Mick talks about the logo. Never mentions Ernie, just John Pasche.
Don't you think Mick would say something about Ernie if it was true?

In 1995, there were posters sold with the "spicky tongue" and another design, which looked a bit like the Cefalu's tongue
