Default Firebird emblem I made.

I wanted something different for the nose of my car so I created this emblem. I want to see if emblempros can make this for me, I want to see what everyone thinks about it. Let me know .

I like the upper part of it and the whole idea but the bottom part looks like a lizard kinda, I'm sure it grows on you though. I'd probably get one if they mass produced it.

We can make it out of the Mirror Black stainless.
We also have the two color composites with the simulated brushed stainless finish.

Thanks, Roger

I see what you are saying, I redid it with a break in the tail.

I like but I keep seeing a winged fairy with a short skirt on. Could you keep the chicken up on the top half and maybe do a smaller Pontiac symbol in the lower portion?

I'd put some talons on the bottom where it meets the rear feathers, just my opinion.

It was very hard to come up with a concept that kept the pontiac symbol and fit the bird in it lol. I used a lot of eraser as I was drawing it and trying to keep the bird as much like the firebird phoenix as possible. Some have said it reminds them of transformers but I dont see that maybe it just the brushed look. To me it reminds me more of the fiero emblem.

Depends on the year of firebird

Both early and late 4th gens bird logos face left, but the 1st gens faced right, early 2nd gens faced right and in the late 2nd gens, you could get a right-facing or left facing bird depending on if it was a Turbo car or not, the 3rd gen logo also faced left, I believe.

I think most of us own 4th gens, just a guess!

So I decided to go back and revisit one of my first drawings and I think it looks more like the firebird seen on our cars. Of course this looks alot different from the first design because I cleaned up the lines alot. I am now leaning more towards my first design, let me know which you all like better.

Number 1 is my first design, and number two is the second design which was first posted here.
