I like the third logo too. Just a suggestion though as in my minds eye it looks good. How about adding the flame behind the sword as if its encompassing the whole lot more so than just the text.
I think the horizontal layout is great but in all of the designs the name isn’t legible enough for my liking. You need to work on the contrast between the title and the background. Try stripping out all of the effects, work with shapes and flat colours to nail the contrast then add subtle texture and shadows/glows back in and find the balance.
