Interesting comments by the NYP readers: Lance McMillan - "I thought Ruby Mazur created the logo? Someone is lying." And reader Jon C - "I always thought Andy Warhol did that logo."

the "second" white stripe surfaced when Braun viewed a booklet full with Alan Aldridge drawings inspired by Beatles songs (in this case the ice licking girl of "Day Tripper").

Always interesting to read his version of the story, but there's much more to it than meets the eye.

There's the rubber-stamp version, created by John Pasche end of 1970 (used on letterhead by Rolling Stones Records) and it has already two white stripes - [iorr.org] . Craig Braun's version was from February 1971.

Yes georgie - gotta give credit to Alan Aldridge who came up with the first version in the Beatles songbook - photo credit to Irix who posted this back in 2015 (found via google search) -> Beatles tongue :Quote

Yep Hairball, he should, but within the limits of the fact that Braun had laid eyes on that illustrated book and helped him (and Velez!) give inspiration to eventually come up with the mighty sharp USA version.

In the new doc, Mick made mention of suggesting some Hindu god with a tongue…..I didn’t catch the name but I had never heard that before.

But if you compare the rubber-stamp version (created by John Pasche end of 1970, used on letterhead by RS-Records) with Alan Aldridge's illustration then you get the urgent impression that this helped & inspired John Pasche as well - [iorr.org] .

The 100% clear distinction of both the eyes and stripe(s) on John Pasche's design(s) are highly distinctive and absolutely unique.

But both designs (A. Aldridge and J. Pasche) are very, very similar in shape & geometry. Compare it here - [iorr.org] . You can of course believe in coincidences if you like.

What's lost for some, it seems, is the context OF the logo.
Especially for Ernie.
Double Oh Seven or Double Zero Seven?
It IS double zero seven.
Oh, or O, is not a number, a numeral.
Enter Ernie.

Reader Christopher Jones - "I’ve run into 5 girls with the Stones Logo on their shirt. No joke, not a single one of them knew that it was the Stones logo. Every one of them said they just like the way it looks."
