  There are many companies and products that use some form of gold shield. It's a pretty popular design.

  A shield is too generic ... at least in my mind.

  Of course you're right - the notion that this could be construed as infringement is ridiculous. I would guess that tens of thousands of businesses in the US alone have some kind of shield shape in their logo.
