Guys, im working on the logo for this woman who is a psychic expert.. Her company is called Silevr Keys, and she asked me to do the logo with 7 keys, since it's a lucky number i guess...
What do you think?

i like the first one, the second i dont like much at all.
the first one looks good, but the red around the second makes it look like a christmas ornament.
- arseni0
Yeah, for some reason that red thing bothers me too...

Maybe make the ball black to make it look more like a crystal ball? Or silver? It definitely looks really Christmassy though.
Or maybe the 'Silver Keys' text from the second logo with the '7-keys image' from the first logo.

In order to give a proper critique you should provide us with some background information, or at least an explanation of why you did what you did.

too much going on there.
simplify your idea.
and i always think if you are gonna use messed up /weathered type, you should mess it up yourself .
make it work b/w before going anything grad/color
keep going!

il ike the top logo, but with the bottom type...

jaline, didn't even read your post , and i agree entirely.
meaningless conincidences... aaahhh

it's going to look crap at a small size. i agree with nasa, simplify.
the circle looks a little 'mystic' which may not help her be taken seriously. same with the type. unless or course she's a topless psychic ala mallrats.
sorry to seem negative, just my thoughts and who the hell am i.

Simplify.
Get rid of the gradients.
Any reason why you have the symbol floating away from the text? Bring it closer.
The typeface in the first one is interesting. Perhaps you can create the keys in the same style?
Just some ideas...

jeedoubleu, i think you didn't read what i wrote before...
This is for a woman who's doing psychic stuff. She ASKED me if i could do a logo with 7 keys because it means something to her. Is it enough of a backrground?

dont use 7 keys, the client is always wrong
- arseni0
Thanx everyone!
I'll try to simplify it, although with that concept it's pretty tough to simplify something since its pretty complicated...
I'll find out if the client likes the concept and then will tweak it more.

nasa,
With that kind of an attitude it must be really hard for you to work with clients.
The client is the person who knows
his business better than anyone else, so it really is a mistake to think that clients are ALWAYS wrong.

take a joke arseni... ha ha, remember
- nasa0
Im just trying to say you are the creative person in the situation. Thats why they asked for you to solve their design problem. Yes, of course take their input, but use it as a direction. Satisfy the clients problem by showing them new ideas and ways of thinking. Sure do the 7 key thing, but also show them some really cool alternatives they probably havent thought of. Thats what i meant.
- arseni0
Nasa, oh, ok... i see your point now.
If she's gonna pay me to create another version, then sure i'll do it.
Even 10 more.

the mark and type don't associate with each other. try to send the same mesage with both.

thanx gorbie... that's what i was thinking too
