  Artist John Pasche, who sold the artwork, was originally paid £50 for creating the design.

  The Stones were so pleased with the logo that, in 1972, they gave him a bonus of £200.

  Awesome.

  It is cheap, but as you say good job they went with a student, he probably really appreciated the cash, and I bet you he never looked back (not only in terms of his career, but also in terms of sexdrugsandrockandroll)....
