MSS/SSL Visuals/Graphics Help Pls

Hey everyone!

I need some help with my graphics. Big thanks to derpy and colbat who offered to chip in their considerable design talents into this.

Lets talk about Mothership Studios' logo first as I have crafted according to my vision for it
Click the image to open in full size.

Refering to the bottom sketch, the top one wasn't drawn well
  1. MSS font is in Starcraft font, to reflect how MSS started
  2. The 3 'saturn-ling' rings should be flat like a disk but have some width to it, much like a flattened donut with a big hole in the centre
  3. The rings angle are roughly at 15, 45 and 75 degrees tilt. The 15 degree disk should be the shortest, the 75 being the longest
  4. The color scheme for MSS is white, the rings as red (symbolizing Singapore and Canada colors, which I grew up in)

Again, I'm open to suggestions, different styles but that's how I imagined it to look like

Coming to SSL logo, I'm quite lost so this is what I thought it might look like but I'm not happy with it. Suggestions?

Wow! Looks awesome! My only 2 critiques would be the color scheme might not be easy to duplicate if I wanted to 'standard colors' cause it does look very fancy and the rings might be abit on the large size. Perhaps shrinks the rings 20% in diameter and see how that looks? I love the fact it doesn't intersect the letter now so its clearer.

Thanks for your efforts!

Looks even better! But could you do these last few tweaks for me?

1) Try putting the MSS letter in White, the Rings in Red. No shades, just solid colors

2) Put a thin black border around the MSS letters, and a thin black border on just the outer edge of the rings

Could you make those adjustments and lets see how it would look? Thanks! Appreciate your creative work!!
