The V&A sticks its tongue out at convention.

The original artwork for The Rolling Stones' iconic lips and tongue symbol has been purchased by London's Victoria and Albert Museum.

The Museum - home to the work of British such luminaries as Constable and Turner - bought the design in the U.S. for
$92,500 (£51,375).

Half the cost was met by charity The Art Fund, which called the work "one of the most visually dynamic logos ever".

Originally designed in 1970, the logo has been used by the rock band ever since. Artist John Pasche, who sold the artwork, was originally paid £50 for creating the design.

Reportedly, the Stones were so pleased with the logo that, in 1972, they gave him a bonus of £200.
