Rolling Stones' 'Tongue' logo returns to London by _Smyle

One of the most known rock 'n' roll images has been sold to the Victoria and Albert Museum (London).

Sold at auction in the US last week for $92,500 (£47,000), the artwork was bought by the museum with the aid of independent art charity The Art Fund, who stumped up half the cash.

The icon was designed by John Pasche in 1970, who was paid £50 ($90) at first and £200 ($360) time later, and it appeared on Rolling Stones' album 'Sticky Fingers' (1971), turning into the representation of the band ever since.
