I think the first 2 look good mate,not the third.
Don't mean to sound like a clever bast**d but the picture on the first is not a knight.Its something like a centurian.Some nerd will mention it(please don't think I'm a nerd)
Personnally I'd go with the second,looks really good.🙂

How about nicking the picture at the top of this web page Knights Estate Agents, estate agents and property sales, estate agents for Deal, Kent, estate agents for Walmer, Kent, estate agents for Dover, estate agents for Sandwich, Kent,Kent,houses and flats for sale Kent its a cracking picture of a knight on a horse.
You know some clever t**t will keep mentioning it with your first design.

Just to point out you can't just "nick" someone elses logo. To use that specific logo you would need to make 7 seperate changes or your in breach of copyright and in some big trouble.
Personally from my perspective logo 1 is ok but as mentioned does not show a Knights helmet/armour. Logo 2 is ok but other than a shield motiff has very little to tie you into the whole Knight reference. Logo 3 for me has the most potential as the image is very simple, and therefore will lend itself to many medias such as print, web, signwriting and clothing printing. Also remember it is cheaper to minimise colours so while logo 1 may look nice so will the price for your printing. Keep it simple, logo 3 has the most potential, oh and just one other thing - change the typeface. The one on image 1 and 3 is awful and will be hard to read for some. Even if you go the classic Old English for the "Knights" and something simple (helvetica etc) for the "Tiling" would be better.
Make sure that your designer picks web safe colours too and if he picks spots make sure they can be closely reproduced in CMYK too or you'll have a multi coloured media should you get say your letterheads litho, your flyers digital and then a website as well. That will look gash and unprofessional.
Hope that helps. If you need anything else please feel free to pm me or reply here.

Also you could use the chess piece as a stand alone brand. An image of that on the back of a work t shirt/polo would look really nice and there's no need for type as it's instantly recognisable, similar to the Nike Swoosh or Apple's....well Apple.
