The logo itself was inspired by two factors, firstly the size and instantly recognizable mouth and lips of Mick Jagger, and secondly the Hindu Goddess Kali - the Divine Mother. Also known as Mother of the Universe, She is considered the divine protector and the one who bestows moksha, or liberation. A fitting symbol for the Stones' influence on the music scene.
