The original artwork of The Rolling Stones' famous 'tongue and lips' logo has been bought by London's Victoria and Albert Museum for nearly a million dollars.

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 artwork is residing in the museum now.

The iconic image – forever synonymous with the band – was designed by art student John Pasche in 1970, after the band became frustrated by designs provided by their label Decca, which they saw as bland.

Pasche was paid just £50 for the logo, and a further £200 in 1972. He went on to work with artists including Paul McCartney, The Who and .

The logo first appeared on their 1971 album 'Sticky Fingers', and has featured alongside the band's material ever since.

Who stole this one? (Seriously)

The confusion arises from the fact that Warhol designed the cover of Sticky Fingers (jeans, zipper, etc.), the album on which Pasche's tongue design first appears. One of the most common mistakes in Stonesdom.
