To commemorate their 50th anniversary, the Rolling Stones commissioned graphic designer and illustrator Shepard Fairey to update their classic "Tongue and Lips" logo, which was originally designed by John Pasche in 1971.
The Stones' original logo is among the most famous designs in rock music history. Fairey is best known as the designer of President Barack Obama's iconic "Hope" poster, which became inarguably the most recognizable campaign image in recent history – though it technically remained an unofficial image unaffiliated with Obama's campaign – and was declared by The New Yorker to be the "most efficacious American political illustration since 'Uncle Sam Wants You'."
