Flame red is kinda cliche. Then again, when you think of a Phoenix, you think immediately of red...dilemma much?

I like both colours but picked Flame Red because of the fiery rebirth. Icy blue might be misconstrued as ice rebirth.

Also blue isn't that original either. Look at LoL.

I like dragons better in blue and phoenixes in red. Unicorns in green. I've got a system...

BOTH SOUND AWESOME BUT GO WITH THE ICY!!

Icy Blue ! xD Well It's the symbol of one of my characters ^^' !

icy blue is original... but flame red makes more sense for a phoenix.... you could do both: it would create a wonderful contrast...
it was hard to choose, but I thought the idea of blue on a phoenix could be interesting

That's a tough one. I love the look of the blue, but I like the idea of the red (which also looks nice). I voted blue, but I'd totally wear either one.

Flame red *-* I just love the colour

i always tend to see the phoenix in an orange or red colour but we crave originality, but check out the colors from this phoenix design on final fantasy VIII [link]
