The first one is kinda simple, and the second one reminds me of a FOOL..., I wouldnt want to be associated with a joker :P
Does it have to be a crown? Other items normally associated with KINGS are Gold and Wealth.. perhaps a Gold Chest half open full of cash would give a good positive feel to seeing the logo.. about makin money, and being a king.. Maybe have a small Crown on the side of the chest like if it was engraved or extruded from it.
My 2 cents
