A 1969 music poster for The Rolling Stones.

About The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones formed in London in 1962 and became one of rock’s longest-running bands. Their tongue-and-lips logo, introduced in 1971, is one of the most famous band logos. Music posters have long borrowed from the visual style of each era, from psychedelia to punk. The late 1960s saw a boom in psychedelic poster art, with swirling hand-drawn lettering and clashing colours. The original dates from 1969. Retro music posters celebrate the album covers, tours and graphic styles of past decades.

Styling this Rolling Stones poster

For a gallery wall, pair this Rolling Stones poster with two or three smaller prints, spaced 2–3 inches (5–8 cm) apart.
