John Pasche is an art designer who is known for designing the Tongue and Lip Design logo for the The Rolling Stones in 1971, which was originally reproduced on the Stones' Sticky Fingers album. In August 2008, the design was voted the
greatest band logo of all time in an online poll. In what was perhaps one of the first cases of rock brand marketing, Jagger reportedly approached the Royal College of Art in 1969 looking to commission images for the band. Pasche designed the
logo and ended up working with the Stones from 1970 to 1974. "Face to Face with him, the first thing you were aware of was the size of his lips and his mouth," Pasche said. He also designed posters for many Rolling Stones tours, namely the
European tours of 1970 and 1973, and the American tour of 1972. He made a promotional sticker for Goats Head Soup (the image being an actual pot of soup being made with a goat's head) and the single sleeve for the single 'She's So Cold'.
