Of course, everyone will have their own opinion, but I think the Phoenix emblem with QB64 in the middle (on two lines) and the pe or PE just below the wings looks great; however, I realize it's probably just an optical illusion but the PE under the wings _looks_ larger to me. Perhaps a slightly smaller pe or PE that could be more closely (but not necessarily perfectly) aligned vertically to the QB64 text would be more visually appealing?? (Just a thought...)
As far as the beak -- I think it looks fine the way it is and it could be interpreted as facing up to the right, OR down to the left depending on who the observer is.
I personally see it as facing down to the left, mainly because it just -looks- more like a phoenix to me from that perspective. Also, I perceive it to be more serious and "regal" where the upward beak seems more "happy" and carefree (either way, it's a positive feeling). I guess it just depends on who's doing the looking...
And... as far as the dash goes, I think that it would be better to leave it off the logo but it _should_ appear in the name.
If it is eventually decided that it should be on the logo as well, then just a simple black dash or decorative line around the lower neck or upper chest area of the phoenix would look nice IMHO.
