Is it a damp area? Loiks like the outside profile and inside profile neans a pretty thick area which if any dampness lurked inside the pot wall at that point could cause a blow out if it was close to an element, flame? 

What a great story and such a fine example of helping others along a difficult road for many.. That young potter has been given such a selfless gift , hope it is infectious.

Put a resist on the emblem so glaze doesn't cover it. Or carefully wipe glaze  off after glazing.
Or get an on glaze decal made up.
Good luck.

Even signingbup for a class can be expensive.
Go to a clay supplier, ask for a liw fired clay. Make stuff with it, lots of "how to" stuff on line, a lot not useful, a lot generated by very good potters. Then you will get some idea re your natural feel for the clay.
Simple safe kiln can be made fot backyard..check what's allowed re outside fires.  You dont have to fire your first pieces. Just wet down your pieces, wedge and use again!
Afterwhich, if smitten by the pottery bug, and within your means and time constraints, join a class.
 

+1 for taking a class or joining a group studio, especially if you’re looking for a hobby. In addition to all the reasons listed above, you will be around other people who are excited about clay, and the community in these scenarios really accelerates your learning. 

Try staining the emblem, wiping off high area. . .  . . do not wipe off the rest of the pot, but make certain has been dampened before the staining and wipe. Then glaze. The additional water in the emblem should cut the absorption of the glaze to some degree allowing the stain to show through revealing the emblem.

In addition to wiping you can also spot saturate with some water by either pre-dipping in water or dabbing with a soaked shaped sponge. I teach it to my students when they don't want to wax the bottoms of their pots.

1. Apply water to areas of pot you want to be less glazed.
2. Apply glaze as normal.
3. Give a little shake, blow on the less glazed spots, or dab with a sponge.

I guess I was thinking along the lines, the only person you can change is yourself.

If that’s the glaze, then wiping across the emblem with a sponge may do it. I’m with @neilestrick on stamped food surfaces. Do it on the bottom or find a glaze that fills it and still shows the details. I like that stamp. 
Nice looking work!

Speaking of sustainability
I have felt bad about my part in global warming for decades using so much fossil fuel (natural gas) as a full time potter.
For me as a Potter I try to offset this in other areas and we all can do some part as each of us has a part to play in this whether it’s simple recycling or an electric car or other small part.
Everything counts.
For me personally I have had a solar water preheater (copper solar water heater panels, two 4x8 panels on roof) feeding into my water heater since Jimmy Carter funded an incentive in 1980 and help me pay for them. They are still up and working today after43 years. I have moved them once and had to keep them serviced and replaced the 80-gallon solar tank once but it’s an active system.
My wife and I personally installed ourselves a 9.6 KW  ground mount solar electric panels in early 2020 as well as a 22.5 KW lithium backup battery system. Yes, I helped raise the price of raw lithium. We did 100% of all the install.
We use a very small amount of grid power and make the rest ourselves from the sun.
Do whatever you can as it all adds up.

(Can we talk about sustainability please)
Sure  lets talk ,I have made a living from clay for about 50 years give or take.I have had some time to consider it.
You talk about classes which really compared to say a toilet or tile manufacture are about 1/16 of a  drop in a bucket compared to the use of materials and cumbustion gas output of all the classes in. the world. I have strong feeling on keeping beginner pots-I think it should be, throw them back on the plaster table for a long spell  of time until one gains the skills but that's never going to happen as humans feel it's precious once made and want to keep the cracked dog bowl thats warped and 1 inch thick with crawed glaze.
I consider it part of an industrial process. Its hard on mother earth ,any way you want to feel good about it its a fact. The electric or gas kiln is not great for earth but for that matter either are humans on this scale of population we are at now. 
Pottery making in all but a commercail level is small time compared to the commercial ceramic world.
Is ceramics stainable ? Well are humans stainable on this planet? We all have thoughts on that point I'm sure.
Just for some prospective we have been at war most of our existance even though most of us  on this planet despise war we are currenty still at war on this planet . Still at war in 2023 is that sustainable ? as it seems its been going on as long as we could pick up a club, so one could say thats as sustainable as we humans are.
Mining materials and processing them and and shipping them and then making clay from them-its a ton of energy and its not yet a mug or a plate.Far from that.
I think of sustainibiliy as a loop and like say paper-trees =paper= recycle for more paper=growing more trees for more paper. Trees help the earth.It can be a loop and go on forever depending on the amout of paper we humans consume as the population grows.As you know at some point its no longer a loop as the use of paper gets to be more than we can recycle and grow.But for now its a loop
Ceramics is not even close to a loop
Now waste thats easy to curb. Clay is clay as long as its not fired. completely recycleable for the most part. The issue is those palstic bags that keep clay moist,all plastic is bad news ,real bad news. The cardboard boxes all can be boxed aagin recycled. One you fire its going to last close to forever so some thought shold be made about that. In teaching most do not consider that. Never had a teacher even talk about it in my days in collage.
Have I ever thought ceramics as a sustainable loop no as its not for me. 
All we can do is be more efficient with our processes in ceramics.
 

I think there are lots of different reasons people go to pottery classes.
Today they use heat guns, I remember, time constraints and pots thrown onevweek could not be turned the next week so tgey were put infront of the kiln blasting away in the corner of an unvented studio, soun on the wheel infront of a 2 bar strip heater, put on top of the hot kiln SO that everyone finished the course with sthing to take home.
From there a couple a year would pursue ceramics seriously, go down the road of apprentice or whatever and adopt a system which best suits their needs.
Judging others easy to do, that's all.
I'll just away down the street and buy a coffee in my ceramic keep cup and feel religious.

See the above info from @PeterH. This is what I was remembering.

There was in the past a post asking exactly this. No expert in searching in these forums but s.one else may.

From what i have seen in community studios in nyc and la most people trying the wheel for a single class or for their first session of classes tend to want to fire and keep much of the work they make. I think this is totally understandable from their point of view and the studios point of view. I do notice that as people take additional classes or become members that they become more discerning about what they push through the entire process. this is just from my point of view others may have differing opinions.  I have always felt like it's kind of a double edged sword...to get better at glazing you need pots to glaze so you simply cannot toss everything until you are a master thrower if you are paying for classes or a studio membership in a ceramics studio. maybe if you are in a university program its different.
personally i've had some teachers that talk about things like vitrification, glaze flaws, best studio practices and others who haven't. it really is kind of a mixed bag and sometimes very dependent on the students asking questions beyond the basics.
as for social media you are only getting a small glimpse into someone's life/practice best not to pass judgement on what you see there.

Why not run some rest tiles?
Decant a known amount of your glaze. Add known increasing amounts amounts of water to a few cups, add known same amount of glaze to each cup. Dip test tiles., same tile in three different dips in same cup to test thickness  desireable. Fire.
It could be as "simple" as that.
Loks like yIur glaze wants to stck to itself no matter what.
If you get a result you like, maybe you can save the batch by adding the required amount of water, Or you could add a known amount of this espom salt rich stuff to a new batch and dont add any more epsom, if sone could do the Maths. Maybe @Rockhopper  he saved me in the past.

So in the interest of clarity: 21litres can look a lot like 2 litres to tired eyes

My BFA professor was a sculptor, her work was around 4-5 feet tall and probably averaged an inch thick. She used an Imco sulpture clay, it was pretty groggy. Also fired very slowly. Another thing I've seen is people building reinforcing structure inside the sculpture, extra walls where support is needed.
