2. • The tongue suites the title ‘The Rolling Stones’. The
word ‘stones’ could connote the word ‘words’ and
as words roll of their tongues hence why they have
a picture of a tongue.
• The colour red and the image of the lips connotes
the idea of pop art which is relative to the genre of
the music.
• This is there 50 year anniversary logo, as they have
involved ‘Fifty Years’ and ’50’ in the title ‘Stones’.
• Signature dance or movement is head banging and
their tongue out with a certain hand position called
‘sign of the horns’ which is associate with the genre
rock. The tongue in this logo connotes this rock
signature.
• Research through colour psychology, red is a colour
which presents liveliness, energy and basic but
powerful. I’d say this colour connotes their music
because they produce lively yet basic music. They
produce so much energy into their music for the
audience.
3. • Nirvana defined is a superior state in which there is
neither suffering, desire, nor sense of self, and the
subject is released from the effects of karma and
the cycle of death and rebirth. This explains why
the smiley face looks like a death, poison face.
• In colour psychology, yellow negatively means
emotional fragility, depression, anxiety and suicide.
This relates back to the meaning of Nirvana but also
contrasts against the fact the face is smiling.
• Black as a background works really well because
yellow is a bright colour therefore it stands out
really well which will attract the audience.
4. • Red associates with the theme royalty and royalty is
associated with the name ‘Queen’. Therefore the
logo combines well together.
• A Lion is known as the king of the animal tribe
therefore this connotes back to the theme of
royalty and contrast with the name ‘Queen’.
• The phoenix is a mythical creature which is known
as to be strong and powerful which is what the
Queens role is.
• The ribbon in the middle is shaped as a ‘Q’ for the
title Queen. Surrounding the crown and being
central is quite important as its attracting the eye of
the viewers as well as framing the crown.
• As they are a rock pop band, they have used
majestic animals to show their power and hard-core
theme in their music.
