Reflecting Christ in Anesthesia Education- College needs a fresh look

MTSA or Middle Tennessee School of Anesthesia

Would like option to include if it works for artist: "Reflecting Christ in Anesthesia Education"

MTSA is a single purpose graduate college focusing on nurse anesthesia education. We have a Christian history and have been around since 1950. We are healthcare and education focused. We have a strong service component. Our target audience is the medical community and young nurses. We are looking for a logo that can be worn on clothing and used in print. We already have a school "seal" (attached), but it does not wear-well and is hard to embroider.

I'd like to explore the following colors:

Greens: Growth, harmony and success.
Blues: Knowledge, trust, calm and honesty.
Let designers make suggestions:

We like the play on the "reflection" of the cross in our seal- it supports our slogan "Reflecting Christ in Anesthesia Education". I would like to see our initials MTSA and then maybe a cross reflection off the "T" or maybe changing the "T" into a cross?

Primary goal is ability to embroider, we have the seal for formal documents.

Including our name Middle Tennessee School of Anesthesia into the design would also be good. I would like something that we could print with or without our full name and still identify us as MTSA. I prefer to stay away from the caduceus.

I added a universally recognized symbol of anesthesia in the attachments. I can not illustrate it, but a thought of mine is the letters "MTSA". The "T" could be a cross, or have a cross reflecting in some manner. The "A" could be an original designed anesthesia mask inspired by the universally recognized image attached. I don't want it to be cheesy, simple is better. I only present this because if it could be captured, it would represent two cornerstones to our mission: Christian and Anesthesia.

I keep coming back to the incorporation of the letters MTSA in the logo. My rationale is that we do not have the resources to purchase brand recognition of an abstract logo. Nike has spent millions teaching us to recognize the swoosh. We need something that either embodies who we are or has it spelled out in some fashion. Just my thoughts. Looking forward to seeing your work.

I uploaded another concept. The laryngoscope is a recognizable anesthesia tool. Below you have a sketch (sorry so rough) of using the laryngoscope as the letter "A" and a reflecting cross.
