new client logo

[seapod00]

I have a new client and she gave me a drawing that she wants to inspire the logo.

I'm not sure where to go with it. It's too busy for a logo, so I told her I'd do a graphical simplification.

The drawing is attached.

The company is a health spa/massage place.

I was thinking that maybe I could make a red circle out of 2 hands/arms: one follows the next.

What do you think?

actually ignore the last attachment posted, here's a slightly more developed set of items to mess with.

I'd love to get some advanced Illustrator tips to play with with this. I've been using Illustrator for years, but I feel like I've just used it for the same couple of things. I'd like to just some advanced tips to play with.

I think I'm eventually going to bring this into Pshop and maybe use hands to turn the graphic into a more flower looking logo using hand sketches?

Any feedback?
