We present a simple axisymmetric model with an elementary distribution function capable of representing galactic bulges. The gravity field of the galaxy is based on the axisymmetric logarithmic potential, which has a flat rotation curve. Bulges are built as isothermal distributions of stars embedded within the potential.
