Stones' Tongue Sold to Victoria and Albert Museum

02/09/2008

The original black and white artwork for The Rolling Stones' iconic lips and tongue symbol has been bought by London's Victoria and Albert Museum.

The logo, originally designed in 1970 and used by the rock band ever since, sold in the US for $92,500 (about £51,000).

Half the cost was met by charity The Art Fund, which called the work "one of the most visually dynamic logos ever".
