Queen DOES ROCK! I didn't know Freddie was an artist, but that doesn't surprise me. Looks like 2 leos and what are the others? Very cool logo. Very, very cool band! Miss them.

Freddie was supposed to be an illustrator, but his degree was in graphic art.
There are two Leo's, John Deacon and Roger Taylor, Cancer (crab)for Brian May, and the two fairies are for Freddie Mercury's Virgo, but some say that the phoenix is actually Freddie, so I guess it's up to him.

ok, 2 lions which is LEO( but only one actual member was a Leo...they just used 2 to keep it balanced), a crab which is CANCER( on top of the crown), 2 fairies or virgins which would be VIRGO( again 2 for balance) and a phoenix bird which is another symbol for SCORPIO....( the more common symbol being a scorpion or eagle)...so there ya have it> 4 symbols>>LEO, CANCER

QUEEN ROCKS!
Freddie is an amazing artist, as well as a singer.

Actually, there was no scorpio in Queen. There are two lions because there are two leos, Roger Taylor (drums) and John Deacon (Bass). Brian May's the Cancer and Freddie's the Virgo. The phoenix doesn't apply to any of the signs in this logo.
Rock on Queen!

Caro is right, there are two leos, a Cancer and Virgo. I love the phoenix though. This is the best logo drawn by the best singer! Freddie wasn't just an awesome singer, he was a terrfic artist. Very regal with the crown, and top marks for the creativity and originality behind it! You can't top this.
