How can I make this image appear to be burned into the surface of the book cover?

Here's the challenge:


User generated imageI want to make the "Hardcharger" coat of arms look like it's been imprinted on to the book cover. 


While I can play with the various Effects (Bevel and Emboss etc), the effect I'm really wanting to target is one where the crest is brown to the point where it blends with the color of the cover. 


Not sure if that makes sense, but if I were try to explain it another way, I'm thinking that "Grayscale" is combination of various shades of black and white. Is there such a thing as "Brownscale" where the colors are various shades of brown.


The result, in my mind's eye, is something that looks as though the crest has been "seared" into the material of the book cover. 


How could I do that?

Upload the two pictures separately and I'll do it for you. I would pull them apart myself but I'm a bit short on time today.
If you want to take a stab at it, I would make two layers - one for booklet, one for symbol/logo. I would add a brown toned opacity to the symbol/logo.
