Queen continua sendo uma influência nos músicos e inspirou todos, desde Nirvana e The Killers a artistas solo como Adele e Psy – isso mesmo, o cara do Gangnam Style.

A aparência grandiosa de Mercury se traduziu na escolha do nome da banda “Queen”. Embora os outros membros não tivessem certeza de seu nome, Mercury insistiu no título maior que a vida.

Mercury observou em uma entrevista que ele escolheu o nome porque “é muito real, obviamente, e soa esplêndido. É um nome forte, muito universal e imediato. Eu certamente estava ciente das conotações gays, mas essa era apenas uma faceta disso.”

O nome multifacetado reflete o próprio Mercury, pois era provocativo e pomposo, além de fornecer especulações, bem como seu estilo andrógino e sexualidade. Em suma, o nome é grandioso, grande e complicado como o eu interior, a habilidade musical e a aparência de Freddie.

Não só Mercury veio com o nome, mas ele também desenhou o logotipo da banda - o "Queen Crest". Freddie Mercury olhou para os signos do zodíaco em busca de inspiração. Para refletir os quatro membros da banda…

Freddie colocou dois leões para Deacon e Taylor, que são leoninos, um caranguejo para o aniversário de câncer de maio e duas fadas, já que o próprio Mercury é virgem. Os símbolos do zodíaco cercam um Q que é estampado com uma fênix. A crista espelha o significado multifacetado do nome da banda, pois lembra o brasão real do Reino Unido.
