The artwork, which fetched $92,500 (£47,000) at an American auction house last week, was designed by in 1970 John Pasche, after the band became frustrated by designs provided by their label Decca, which they saw as bland. The artwork is residing in the museum now. :: story continues below :: Pasche was paid just £50 for the logo, and a further £200 in 1972. He went on to work with artists including Paul McCartney, The Who and The Stranglers.
