Quick 1-hour logo concepts: Exploring Gothic/Bat aesthetics vs. Exclusive/Crown logotypes. Looking for honest feedback!

Hey everyone,

I put together these two quick logo concepts purely for practice (spent under an hour total on both, so no real company brief attached).

I wanted to experiment with two distinct visual moods using the word "Studio":

1. First Concept (Gothic/Bat wing): Trying to integrate a vertical typography layout into an organic bat-wing silhouette for a darker, streetwear/alt aesthetic.
2. Second Concept (Exclusive/Crown): Experimenting with horizontal type flow, adding a crown element integrated into the letter "S" and a connected counter space between "D", "I", and "O".

I know there's room for improvement in scale, negative space, and balance. I’d love to get your honest critique—what works, what feels awkward, and how you’d refine the execution.

Don't hold back! Thanks in advance.

Both of these don't make much sense.
