Despite not pursuing art and design like he did in college, the diploma was worth it in the end. Thanks to his efforts in school, Mercury was able to design the Queen emblem, which is also known as Queen Crest. The design is made up of the zodiac signs of each member of the band.

There are two Leo lions which were for John Deacon and Roger Taylor, a Cancer Crab for Brad May and two of the Virgo sign of two fairies to represent Freddie’s sign. The “Q” and the crown are a representation of the band’s name and phoenix protecting the whole crest.
