From what I've learned over my time with this language, use the last name with anyone you do not know until they tell you otherwise. It's more or less common courtesy.

Usually when I talk to seniors at work and stuff, I put さん after their first name even we get close. When I meet a new friend who close to my age or the same age, I would start this conversation: "What should I call you?" and they tell you what you can call them. So most of people might say "just call me Keiko" "Call me Hanako" even you just met them. Its kind of normal thing. So basically it doesn't happen that you have been calling someone by their first name and then suddenly you start calling someone by his/her given name because you get closer with her/him. Of course you can change how to call them though. But I don't do that because I feel kind of weird to change suddenly how to call my friends differently, you know.

I mean I have friends from kindergarten and we are so close but I don't call her by only her given name and she doesn't call me by my given name too. When we met, I was calling her with ちゃん so now I'm calling her ◯◯ちゃん still. It's kind of weird to say without ちゃん now. So I don't think calling someone by their given names means "they are close".
