The original artwork of the famous logo of the Rolling Stones---the tongue and lips image---was recently bought at a New York auction for the Victoria and Albert museum in London for nearly $100,000. Although many think the logo was created by Andy Warhol, it was actually created by John Pasche in 1970. Do you think this image is powerful enough to hold its own in a major museum?

Well, it's iconic in its own right, see it and you can't help but hear one of the many Rolling Stones classics in your head. I guess that makes it Museum-worthy.
