At the beginning of the 20th century, montague introduced Sikes to design a sculpture logo for Rolls-Royce. Montague, who was married at that time, was madly in love with his secretary Thornton and begged Sikes to design a logo based on Thornton. Therefore, in Sikes' original design, the statue was a woman in a robe, with her finger on her lips, symbolizing the secret love affair between montague and Thornton. This love story has gone through many hardships. Thornton is a stripper, so they can't live together at all.
