The original logo becoming a globally recognized brand over the years had a softening impact on it's perceived nastiness.
So at the risk of losing the last friends I may still have had on this forum I will share with you my streamlined attempt to bring the nasty back.

I sort of knew you'd say that, but it's been de-nastified all the same

Some lovely tongues there. It's practically poetic that they end up with this logo.

I'm surprised that rollingstones.com isn't marketing a Covid-19 face mask decorated with the logo? I think they're missing a trick!

You should read the history of its making. In 1970 Marshall Chess, in those days fresh president of Rolling Stones records, came up with the idea of a nameless logo, inspired by the Shell Oil logo. Then Mick (J) showed a Kali image to young designer John Pasche, who created a bunch of them and the one, named by GasLightStreet as "the original" was inventually chosen. The "new" one soon after surfaced in the USA, again with the help of Chess, who managed to get his long time friend Craig Braun to do the job and, with the help of two very talented co-workers, Walter Velez and Toni DiMiceli, they came up with the world's most famous/powerful music artist logo ever.
(By the way, welvome to this great site!)

I didn't name it as "the original" - it just is.

I'm still amazed that anyone can look at the Alan Aldridge design and not acknowledge that it is the original. Marshall Chess, Jon Pasche, Craig Braun and Ernie Cefalu are all good people I'm sure (I've met Ernie-very nice guy), but it just seems like a collective hallucination to ignore what Aldridge did and believe that it's just random coincidecnce. I think Aldridge must have been paid off, somehow, someway.

Yes, precisely. They used Alan Aldridge's design.

The thing about the tongue logo is that many people look at it and it's just a tongue.

Marshall Chess/Craig Braun logo is distinctly different from Pasche's logo and just a tightened up Aldrige.
