Logo for wedding websites

the original was the dreaded RSVP logo a couple weeks back - she has decided on a new name for the company - Wedding Webs (nola) - she hasn't decided if she will use nola or not (new orleans, la)...
this purpose of the company is to sell little custom websites to all of the young bride-to-bes - used mostly for destination weddings, so out-of-town guest can get info on specifics to the wedding, lodging, site-seeing, rsvp, photos, etc...
unleash the tigers...
thank ya, thank ya!

The hanging ring is really out of place, imo. Especially the pink band for the first one?
wonder what would happen if you used the serif wedding and script webs?
and yeah, id lose the ring. its tired and sort of negatively executed in this case
She gave up the RSVP for this? Wow.
com'mon art gimme a little slack - this is just the start of my thought process...
its clear that i'm less than a designer in your eyes, but ill give you that - i'm not a logo designer - i design wedding invitations! i try to pic up a few bucks by doing odd jobs and i like that this website gives honest critiques - but really - where's the critique in your comment??
to the others, i see what ur saying about the pink ring and will play with the idea of mixing fonts - muchos gracias!

If that's the impression you got - I'm sorry. I'm not trying to pass judgement on anyone. If you're getting business - you're a designer. That's all there is to it. My comment was in regards to the name - RSVP is a better business name imho.
"If you're getting business - you're a designer." - great line.
It's a tricky one - the wedding market place is both over-saturated and is one of the most 'fixed' in terms of people's expectations of visual style.
A trick I've used to help generate something that 'stands out but fits in' is to save logos and other related graphics of other companies operating in the sector (and in the country - if the market varies in brand from place to place). I'll then set up a physical board with all of them stuck on it and I'll re-arange them by recurring theme.
This gives you a kind of map of the territory - you can use it to join a well trodden path, or explore some of the less charted areas.
With regard to your wedding webs logos - some specifics I'd focus on:
The ring, with its current placement reads 'piercing' to me - though perhaps that is just me.
The name reads 'rola' rather than 'Nola'.
The type choices feel a little forced - the top feeling like a mock magazine and the bottom one feeling lost between formal and friendly - wgzn's idea of combining might be a nice way around this, but I'm not convinced that they are quite the right typefaces for the job.
good advice alex!
im not sure what direction to take, formal or friendly - brides can go either way - i would like to go "sassy" but then you annoy the formal people - then if i go formal, i lose the "hip" crowd... i think combining the fonts is the best idea - will work on that! thanks!
what if the ring loops through the two d's... suggesting unity and symbolizing a bond between two people?
lame?
