Dear Henry Jr,
Thanks for your very nice suggestions!
We like the font you are using in entry #35, and we like your idea about separating the icon from the font by the vertical line.
It's very inventive that you have thought of a university building, and interesting to combine it with a shield.
Although we give you credit for the idea, it would be interesting to see the logo without the flames, and perhaps with a darker grey font to make 'Academy' a bit more visible.
And perhaps, if you were able to show one where you only use a completely simple shield e.g. one only drawn by a frame.
