Who designed the L.U.S.T. logo and what inspired it?

I drew the original sketch and had it redrawn by tattoo artist Karl Kaufmann. It was never originally conceived to be the L.U.S.T. logo, it was just a tattoo I got when i was 18, mine reads "True Lust".

It's a caricature & parody of the whole biblical concept of the sin lust, the forbidden fruit & the serpent from the garden of Eden. Hence why there's a switchblade through the apple and the snake is wearing a crown.

When we were sitting around scratching our heads trying to come up with a logo I suggested use my tattoo and change "True Lust" to just "L.U.S.T.". The logo you see is actually a photoshopped photo taken of my arm, if you look closely the leaf of the apple next to the "T" in "L.U.S.T." isn't pointy like the others, that's the curve of my arm!
