Here in the states the inner sleeve had a blow up of John's logo screened back with text overlaid and the pen sketch was done by Craig in his office and in fronnt of me and two others using my lips and added a tongue to them. There was no time limit of an hour set at all! Again, taking my words and adding your own until others believe it to be true. That's real B.S,and the major issues I have with all here who think they know best, but in reality I was alone in that 3rd floor carrage house art department... neither you or anyone else in this conversation was there with me. I went up to Craigs art department where "I alone" in about 15 to 20 minutes created my version of the tongue logo that then was presented to marshal chess at Andy's factory in Manhatten. The whole thing was created, presented and bought in a few hours, all in the same day! - Ernie

How many other things did Braun create again, after the whole Stones thing? Zero, I think it was. And you have what? Some 240 albums, multiple grammy nominations, oh, shows in The Smithsonian, and a cavalcade of rock stars and producers who can all attest to everything you've done, including adpating "Dolls Alive" to the logo.
It's so funny how people all either "lend you creedence" or "discount you" that weren't probably born when this took place, without having seen the mountains of work that support what you say.

My understanding is that the "merchandise version" of the tongue was created because much of the merchandise range was enamel and you need both enough space for the enamel to flow but also a wall to ensure the separation of the enamel colours.

Which version of the tongue&lips logo do you mean, Matt?

In my humble opinion Ernie may have been involved in the artwork for the merchandise but he did not "design" the tongue logo.

Maybe it was just a welcome side-effect that his version of the T&L-logo was chosen for the Licks-Merchandise since it was less sophisticated and therefore easier to manufacture with the enamel colors.
