But that's BS! Your logo was the best so far and your crown wasn't even close to any other crown that was submitted. I mean, there was only one other designer who submitted crowns and his crowns did not fit our concept. Way too playful. I think you should keep your crown!
But apart from that, the font you used with the crown logo was the best so far. Maybe, you could combine this font with some other symbol or mark.
Best regards
