==Company logo== Stigwood explained the inspiration for RSO Records's [[akabeko]] logo in a 2001 interview for ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'': {{cquote|I was in [[Japan]] with [[The Who]] and decided to set up RSO as an [[independent record label|independent label]]. I had designers working on a logo, but I didn't like any of them. Some Japanese friends gave me a [[papier-mâché]] cow, which is a symbol of good health and good fortune. It was on the [[fireplace mantel|mantelpiece]] in my office, and I thought, 'Good health and good fortune, that's appropriate. Just write RSO on it.'<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WxQEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA56|title=Billboard - Google Books|date=24 March 2001}}</ref>}} In the 1978 movie ''[[Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (film)|Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band]]'', a similar logo of a [[pig]], rather than a [[cow]], was used as a logo of the fictional Big Deal Records label depicted in the film.
