| Gallery label | As 1960s pop culture progressed, graphics became increasingly sophisticated. Music marketing became a way of visual myth-making as performers were represented by ever more stylised iconography. The Rolling Stones are symbolised by their iconic logo, applied to the often used symbol of rock and roll excess - the private jet heading west.(2019) |
