Custom emblem(s)

What is the level of interest for custom badges? Purpose is updated scripting to resemble more current trends. Length/width would be similar to the flexfuel emblem. C6Z06-esque design and/or C7Z06-esque design. These are rough sketches, i've yet to 3D model them, not until I am satisfied with the sketches. Both designs would be made to replace the letters on the tailgate/added to fender(s) [obviously that is up to the owner].
Thoughts?

A 1967 script v





I’m a strong supporter of the shave! No emblem, badges or letters(including scripts) or such.
most others that like badges have gone to the mid fifties Chevrolet script.

Like this 1954 script





A modern twist in the HHR letters , that’s an individual taste, of course

Does anyone have the font for the LT lettering? I would really like to add a 2 in front that matches. I think it would be cool to make it a little more unique and show off the 2LT package.

P.S. I like the second badge better, and what oldblue has displayed as well.

I’ve seen these on a few new Colorado’s and there’s a part number

I don't have the particular font, but my LT letters I shaved off my 2LT are still in my display case, They just look like this type: LT........... But let me know if you would like some measurements .

Thank you, but I have the LT letters I want to add a 2 in front. I just can’t seem to get the font to match, so everything I have tried looks odd next to the LT. No big deal though, just an idea I thought of doing.

Don't think looking for the correct font is going to work. That will just yield a 2 dimensional image.
Try a Google search for "Engine Size Emblems". Then just look through the images that have 2's in them. Like this:

As in post #2 above, the older style Chevrolet within a Grill Bowtie, nice looking.
Anyone know who makes or if discontinued.
