There are 8 symbols of 8 book series; if you've read all of them then you are AWESOME.
Formation is my own design; each symbol is owned by their respective authors.
base bird form: Mockingjay from the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
circular border ring: One Ring from Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
blue trident: trident for Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan
red flames: Dauntless seal flames from Divergent by Veronica Roth
green triangle, circle, & line: Deathly Hallows from Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
green eye: little green running guy from the target symbol on the Alex Rider by Anthony Horowitz
black diamond/fish on end of trident: Angelic Power rune from The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare
UNOFFICIAL (sorry if you couldn't get it): black symbol before the 1 on the end: Yawë symbol from the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini
(these are all awesome series and you should read them all)(also Artemis Fowl and Ender's Game)
I got the inspiration for morphing fandom symbols from thinking about how Dauntless flames were the same shape as the Mockingjay's upper wing. Then if I combined Divergent and Hunger Games, a trident would be a perfect substitute for the arrow. Then I started thinking about the symbols for major series, and how many would fit into the Mockingjay design. The LotR ring was the next obvious choice. Harry Potter could in no way be left out, and The Deathly Hallows was the best symbol. I originally intended it to go in the eye, as the most recognizable symbol in the smallest, hardest to see position, but the triangle looked weird and it ended up fitting better in the triangle of the tail. There was still 2 spots on the fletching on the arrow, and the eye was such a focal point it had to be something. I had originally wanted to have Artemis Fowl and Ender's Game, as I love both series. But neither have good recognizable symbols, so I picked TMI because it fit for an arrow fletching, and Alex Rider, because the target symbol fit for the eye.
