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. Many concert posters listed several bands, capturing who shared the stage on a given night. It was designed to promote a 1973 concert. In the 1970s, rock moved into arenas and its posters became bigger, bolder and more graphic. By the 1970s, concert promotion moved to arenas and stadiums, and posters advertised ever larger shows.
