SIGNS OF THE TIMES

Rolling Stone
35th Anniversary Issue

Sometimes the simplest design can carry a whole idea, or even a movement. These are the symbols that resonated the most...

The Peace Sign....
Levi Strauss Jeans....
The AIDS Ribbon....
The Smiley Face....
The @ Symbol....

The Rolling Stones Lips....
In the early seventies, Mick Jagger's mouth was "an affront to human decency," as one London newspaper put it. But Jagger originally approached designer John Pasche with another set of lips as the basis for the Rolling Stones' logo. "He had this image of the mouth of the Hindu goddess Kali that he really liked," says Pasche. "I thought the Indian influence would be a passing fad, so I did Mick's mouth instead." The tongue-and-lips logo debuted on the 1971 album STICKY FINGERS. "That design said everything you needed to know about the band," says Courtney Taylor, lead singer of the Dandy Warhols and a Jagger look-alike. "Plus, it was the poster mouth for the world's best oral sex."

Polo by Ralph Lauren....
The MTV Symbol....
The Pac-Man....
The Greatful Dead Skull....

L&A Great, thanks for posting it, Pam. It's just strange to read " American icons"...

Taylor from the Dandy Warhols is one of my actual favorite singer and performer, and it's sure he knows a lot about the subject...
