Another trick is to notice that in a key signature, the next to last flat is the name of the key

Bb,Eb = Key of Bb Major
Bb,Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Cb,Fb = Cb Major

For sharps, the last sharp in the key signature is 1/2 step down from the key

Key Sig: F# = Gmajor
Key Sig F#,C#,G#,D#,A#,E# = F# major

Maybe this will help?
