When we talk about complexity, we're talking about the number of 
tinctures used, plus the number of *types* of charges. Both the 
examples you've provided have two tinctures (argent and sable) and 
three types of charge (sun, tower, bordure). Thus, a total complexity 
count of 5.

*As a rule of thumb*, a complexity count of more than 8 is considered 
too complex. Well arranged devices above that complexity count have 
passed in the past, and badly arranged submission with lesser 
complexity counts have been returned.

As you wish. :-)
