Logo Ideas

I have been experimenting with logos for my magazine and have come up with a final 2 that I will choose between. 

I like this one because it looks very feminine and classy. I have chosen to include 'Iconique Magazine' on both because this is the name of the brand and so therefore it is necessary. I think the swirls look very elegant and sophisticated, which are two things I would like my magazine to be represented as. My magazine will include images that all create a strong sense of elegance and class, in most cases due to the backgrounds, but also the poise and sophistication of the models. The issue I have with it is that it will take up a lot of room and is quite extravagant for a logo, perhaps less swirls would make it look better.

I like this one because I think it is very striking and simple yet sophisticated. The font used will always mean it looks elegant, so it doesn't matter that the design around it looks quite plain. I think this makes it look more striking as the lines frame the magazine title, representing it as important. The lack of detail around the title pulls attention to the elegant font, emphasising the idea of sophistication and class, hopefully representing my magazine this way. Perhaps if I could find a way of incorporating swirls into a design similar to this it would be better as it wouldn't be too busy with lots of swirls, but also not too plain with just simple lines.
