Fans of the band will love the headphone’s three exclusive designs. Among them are the Classic Licks, No Filter, and Tattoo You iconography. Now, let’s find out which one is right for you:
Classic Licks
For all loyal Stones Fans young and old is the most iconic and recognizable rock logo of all time. The original “Lips-and-Tongue” image, first portrayed on the globally recognized album of 1971, remains the flagship artwork for The Rolling Stones. Without using the Stones’ name, the logo instantly conjures the rebelliousness that is the Stones’ own. The symbol has remained on all post-1970 albums and singles since. This includes the band’s merchandise, and everything from t-shirts to lighters to stage backdrops.
Tattoo You
For the super fans that camped out at box offices and record shops — or called into local radio stations to get their Stones’ tickets for the Candlestick Park show in San Francisco — comes the 1981 version of the logo. This historical image can be found on the show’s promotional materials, including t-shirts and tour passes. The “Tattoo You” album logo pays homage to the chart-topping, multi-platinum album of the year. The image is a flash-style variation: an old-school, traditional tattoo design of a flower and dagger surrounds the lips-and-tongue logo. It also has the name of the studio album across the ear cup.
No Filter
For the new era Stones fans (No Filter European Tour 2017 logo) is a rendition of the Rolling Stones lips-and-tongue, which emerged originally on the 1971 marketing materials. The “No Filter” design is inspired by the band’s No Filter Tour that began in Hamburg, Germany in 2017. The logo has traveled to nine different countries on the tour’s merchandise, promotional materials, and stage video.
Celebrate one of the world’s greatest rock bands with an award-winning manufacturer of the finest high-fidelity audio devices. The Stones-branded headphones continue V- MODA’s series of collaborations with musicians and legacy estates. The logo has been called the most famous logo in the history of popular music for a reason. It’s an image capturing the essence and allure of rock’ n’ roll at its finest. Take your pick: these three new designs give fans of the band and brand retro-yet-stylish headphone choices with no compromise on quality.
