Vintage 80's style Stella badge
I saw that quite a while back, some users on stellaspeed (I believe) had a Stella badge made to look like the 80's era Vespa badge. That seemed to be a limited run and I haven't found any.
I've contacted a car emblem maker who can make them. Would anyone be interested in 1 (or 3) if these get made? Obviously the costs decrease a bit based on volume, as the setup costs can be spread out.
It would look something like this:

These are not injection molded in such a small quantity. The company doesnt say exactly what the process is, but maybe 3D. Here is info on it as well as a gallery:
https://emblemart.com/newsite/chrome-emblems/
I have a quote for two sizes and they have artwork for the badge (see below). Size could be:
6" x 1.4"
or
4" x .94"
The cost for a small run of 15-20 would be around $20-25 per badge. I havent jumped in because I dont know if thats too high.
Thoughts? Thanks!

I would still buy three at $25 each.
I'm not sure what the best size is. My Stella's in the shop at the moment, but I'll take a ruler to it as soon as I can.
According to this site, this style of Vespa legshield badge is 120mm x 18mm, or 4.72" x 0.71", which suggests that the smaller size is probably better, at least for the legshield. I don't know whether the same size or a different size would look best on the cowls.
Thank you for managing all this, scooterdork!

There's a beautiful Stella for sale in the Baltimore area with a badge like this.

stella badges from stellaspeed
I still have 4 of these, found them in a drawer in my home office, would sell if anyone is interested.
Never installed (I bought a couple sets way back when on stellaspeed and only used a couple of them). 3 match, one has a slightly different tint. Since they are old stock, I would replace the sticky tape with new in order to install.
EDIT: Sold

I bought the above badges from mlstephens (thanks, Mike!), so I'll have to retract my interest in paying for new ones. But I can offer a some sizing information based on these.
They are 12.5 cm wide and 2.25 cm tall at the Ls.
I don't have a designer's eye, but it looks to me like the letters on these are a bit wider than the letters in scooterdork's template above.
I haven't installed them, but they are flat, whereas the legshield and cowls are rounded, so they might require a little force to get them mounted flush. If it's possible to make yours with some flexibility, that would probably help!
