Alan Aldridge (8 July 1938[1] – 17 February 2017)[2] was a British artist, graphic designer and illustrator. He is best known for his psychedelic artwork made for books and record covers by The Beatles and The Who and for creating the original design that was used to create the Tongue and Lips logo of the Rolling Stones.[3] His bold, surreal, and colorful style was unique and different compared to the more restrained 'Swiss style' during his time.[4][5]
