The article, interesting as it is, is pretty much unreadable for me.
Someone has, I'd surmise, transcribed a tape of the interview, and done it literally and precisely. Literal transcription of casual conversation is hard to read, and when the speaker is being very colloquial in his own language (I'm being polite there), it's dire.
It really should have been edited. (And if it has already been edited, what Patois was Braun speaking in the original!)

Very true, and I almost didn't post it for that reason. But I thought it may be interesting to some given the 50th anniversary of Sticky Fingers.

Some folk may recall the Watergate break in, and then arising from that was the revelation that Nixon was recording everything in his office. The tapes of that became (largely) available, and when you read those you see lots of half sentences, etc etc. Spoken word is not the same as the written word.
I'd suggest using Google Translate, but that does not cover this.

No, the Stones themselves credit it separately to John Pasche - [TheRollingStonesShop.com] , Craig Braun concept packaging - [TheRollingStonesShop.com] , Craig Braun / Ernie Cefalu - [TheRollingStonesShop.com] .

Craig is a pathetic liar. He claims to have done the art, yet he never did anything else...he owned the studio where it was created, which is why The Stones themselves credit it to Braun/Cefalu. Ernie Cefalu drew it.

“Look, you mentioned that some kid in an art school is working on a logo for Mick?” And he said, “Yeah.” So I said, “I need that, Marshall. Get the logo.”
"So I got my guy down, the illustrator guy, Walter Velez was his name. We combined the two in a salad, like a design salad. So I went through maybe six different iterations of that logo."
It's a proverbial "we" and "I" it seems involving the John Pasche logo.
