Thankfully Jagger probably won't ever see this, but that guy sounds like a horrible man. Completely insensitive at this time, just to kick someone while they're down.
And I don't even understand what he's saying. Tumbling Dice? They've had the tongue since Sticky Fingers.

I fully concur with the statement at the end of the article made by Jaggers people.
He made a bad deal by not having the trademark of the logo made in his name. Very sad that he is saying this stuff now.

Mazur met Jagger in the 1970s in London, and created the original “mouth and tongue” artwork for the “Tumbling Dice” album. Jagger paid him $10,000 for the art at the time to use for the cover. Since then, the image has been used on Stones merchandise and become one of the most recognizable logos in pop culture.
Taken from the pagesix.com article linked in the first post.
Has the Tumbling Dice tongue been reworked at all?
Maybe just poor writing. The original seems to be the writer's words. Not Mazur's.

Some graphic artists do not understand the concept of work for hire. I own a company who regularly uses graphic artists, and if any of them start talking about "rights" (basically the right to use my own idea) that is the end of the discussion. There is a difference between original artistic expression and commercial work for hire. The woman who designed the Nike "swoosh" did it for $35. Yes, the logo went on to become the iconic image of a billion-dollar brand. Does she deserve to get royalties the rest of his life? No. That wasn't the deal she made. (However Phil Knight later gave her some stock to express his gratitude, but he wasn't legally or ethically required to).

I wonder if we'll be seeing a whole parade of disgruntled people from Mick's past..Ry Cooder, etc.
