   Freddie Mercury based it on the star signs of the members of the band. There are two lions for the two Leos, a crab for the Cancer, and two fairies or pixies for the Virgo. And of course, the Q in the middle for Queen. It's brilliant!

   In terms of creativity, this logo certainly is up there. A lot of effort was definitely put into it and not a lot of bands put in that same effort.
