Queen Logo

The Queens logo was designed by Freddie Mercury, the lead vocalist of the band, keeping in view the zodiac signs of the band members. Two lions for Leo (Deacon and Taylor), a crab for Cancer (May), and two fairies for Virgo (Mercury). The Queen logo is as classical as the rock band itself. Despite the lapse of decades, the band has not shown any sign of ageing and still demonstrates its legendary prowess in the world of rock music. The Queens logo outline is a depiction of royalty and elegance. The close resemblance with the British Royal coat of arms gives the logo a regal feel while embodying patriotism and classiness. The Queen logos shape gives it a groundbreaking appeal while highlighting every aspect of the bands identity. The symbols used in the band logo are a pair of the lions and fairies. On either side are the zodiac signs of the band members i.e. Leo and Virgo. The Cancer sign of crab sits on top of the letter Q, which of course stands for rock band Queen. The fairies are provided shelter by the lions in the Queen logo where they can be seen standing elevated. A ring of flames hovers above the crab giving an impression of a crown. There is also a crown inside the Q and the whole logo is over-shadowed by an enormous phoenix. The whole symbol bears a passing resemblance to the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom, particularly with the lion supporters.[8] The original logo, as found on the reverse-side of the first album cover, was a simple line drawing but more intricate colour versions were used on later sleeves The presence of many unique motifs gives the Queen logo a fascinating and colorful look. Yellow and Orange are the principal colors featured in the Queen logo with a blend of red on the Q ribbons. The lions are mustard colored whereas the color of the fairies is white. The crab is painted a metallic bronze color. The impressive uses of fonts truly compliment the fanciful layout and design of the Queen logo. The Roman-style fonts are slightly bold with defined curvatures and appear at the bottom.
