Logo Design Brief

I'm writing a fantasy series and would like to have an emblem that i can use to put on the book cover, maps, and other places.

I've pictured it as a coin, but I'm open to other ideas. Maybe a pocket watch or compass like design.

The colors and objects are symbolic.
- The field is gray symbolizing a greater force that controls pretty much everything.
- Then there are 4 spheres, one Black, White, Green, and Red to symbolize the 4 different colors of magic.
- Around the edges are 4 pairs of planets and in the center are 2 pairs of planets.

I am not tied to that layout of objects though, hence the contest. if you have a cool/crazy idea on how to lay it our, I'd love to see it. I just wanted to give some idea of the symbology.

The general feeling I'm going for are: weathered, ancient, mysterious, "just dug up out of the ground".
For the 4 large magic elements: glowing, shimmering.
For the smaller spheres/circles: jagged, imperfect, planet-like.

Updates

Based on the submissions I've received so far, I thought I should try to add some additional guidance for the type of style I'm going for.  I added several hand drawn graphics of the sort of thing I've been thinking about.

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: I messed up on this in a few ways. This is my first time using DesignCrowd. I put this in the wrong category, so a bunch of designers didn't see if until they changed the category for me. And I didn't post the concept drawings until this week. A number of designers have asked for additional time, and I don't have any particular deadline anyway. I'd like to give a chance to all the great designers to have the time they need to finish their work.

Requirements
Must have
  • - It must have a transparent background, so I can drop it into things without having a white block effect.
    - Must have some representation of the 4 colors (Black, White, Green, and Red) and in the same relative position (white at the top, etc). it does NOT have to be circles/spheres, as in the attached example.
    - 2000 x 2000 pixel dimensions
Nice to have
  • - It would be nice if I can shift the graphic to a pure black and white and have it look all right.
