Hey Mallmus, interesting to see the pieces. It might be worth talking to your client to ask what it is that they prefer about this friend's logo (I'm calling it a logo for the sake of ease). It might be that you can incorporate some of the essence of it into your own designs as they are not too far aprt anyway. I would guess that the colours used and the 'delicacy' of some of the shapes in the friend's logo appeals to them because it feels lighter, more delicate and oriental. It also feels more 'free' being something that bleeds off rather than sits in a holding device.
The typography of the friend's is obviously bad but it does feel more oriental too and quite delicate again.
I think you should go back to your client and say that you can take some of that on board and would like to present them with an additional development stage that will improve on the production-ality and functionality of the imagery and typography - that way you get to keep the job and get paid for it.
If you explain to them that a pixel based image is not going to print well and that the whole thing should be handled by a professional they will probably be grateful to you for being felixible enough to work with outside influences.
Just my two penneth though.
