Black Raven
烏 can mean raven or crow but is also used as an alternate way to write the color black.
Therefore, this is a symbol of the black raven (with emphasis on black). This can also mean rook or dark.
Notes: This can be the Japanese surname Karasu, or Chinese surname Wu.
Flying / Flight
飛 is the single character for flight, flying, or to fly.
It can be a single character in Chinese and Korean Hanja. However, in Japanese, it's often understood as a female given name Fei or used to mean a rook (shoji). 飛 is best if your audience is Chinese.
Rook
ruuku
ルーク is the name Rook in Japanese Katakana.
Note: Because this title is entirely Japanese Katakana, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.
Rook
lǔ kè
魯克 is the name Rook in Chinese (Mandarin).
