Turks who have a rich history have a rich culture and valuable mythical elements. Turkish culture, which started to be born in China borders in Central Asia, is tried to be kept alive in today's Turkish states. Turkish culture, enriched by Chinese, Indian, Iranian, Arab, Hittite and Helen cultures throughout history, has managed to not break away from its original origins. Creation of written sources in later periods and be established in the late Turkey, Turkish culture has been problematic to transfer to the next generation. Turkish mythology can not be fully understood by examining the history of many states in line with today's academic conditions, but it has rich mythical elements. In this study, especially bird figures and graphic design elements which have been proven by various findings and sources, have been examined. Predatory birds of bird figures have evoked admiration in the ancient Turks who had the belief in the God of Heaven, and regarded them as the envoy of God. Predatory birds, the most powerful animals of the sky, has become the sole symbol of power, domination and nobility in Turkish culture. However, only the double-headed eagle symbol has survived to this day. The aim of this study is to emphasize that there are different bird figures with different meanings except the double - headed eagle in the Turkish mythology. In Turkish mythology, there are many bird symbols such as owls, crows, swans, huttus, nightingales, pigeons, geese, storks, chickens, peacocks. The bird symbols discovered in this research were tried to be introduced to Turkish culture with sample logo designs, which is the sub-branch of graphic art.
