A fun, creative tribute: 50 new logos for 50th anniversary of the Rolling Stones.

A bit-mapped riff on the Stones’ iconic logo.

For designers, this is a fantastic assignment in creativity: mess with one of the world’s most iconic logos, that of der Rolling Stones. Bitan Franco and Álvaro Sotomayor of Publicis Madrid and Wieden Amsterdam worked with designers from across the world to create this neat tribute. They call it the 50 New Logos Project.

(Imagine Mick as the client. Oy.)

Here’s another site with the logos, presented more scrolly.

Some are better than others. Some are respectful. And I bet the Glimmer Twins dig the disrespectful takes as well because hey, part of the Stones modus operandi is to make rock and roll rebellious.

For the designers, a great challenge. For Stones fans, they’re all a pretty good time.

And, just because, here’s my fave Stones song: Happy.
