Default Custom script tailgate badge

Have done the Google thing. .
I'm in need of someone that can custom make me a tailgate badge. I want the chrome script like the Ford logo, with the Ford blue background. Basically, the blue oval with different wording.
Right now, I don't want to divulge the wording, I want it so you guys go, "ooohh aahhh" if and when I can get it made/installed.
If anyone feels they could do this, please PM me. If you know of someone that can do it, please post it here in this thread.
There is a company that can make what I want in billet aluminum, over $200USD, but I want it to look as OEM as possible.
Maybe just a shot in the dark?

Any company that does decals can make one to go over top of your stock oval. I would look local if I was you.

Thanks guys. I just put in a request to devries. Originally, I was looking for a complete badge, instead of an overlay, but I'll try the overlay first.
I speced the domed overlay. My badges are the slightly raised letter ones. Can anyone post a closeup photo of that style with an overlay, so I can see how the original logo shows through?

Ordering from DeVries, they said they could do what I wanted. Will be a couple weeks, but should be worth the wait.

They are the best people! These overlays are bout 2mm thick so I am pretty sure that if the script shows, it wont be very noticeable.

Did they make yours? I'm looking forward to getting these, The price was a lot less than the billet aluminum one I originally looked at. $67.50USD for two, one for the grille, one for the tailgate, and one for the steering wheel. Price also includes set up and design. So, if anyone likes what I'm doing, the price will be $10 less if they'd like the same.
I did ask if they'd done this design before, and they said no. Hard to believe that what I came up with is a one of. Maybe it'll be pretty ugly?

Got my custom made overlays the other day, but wasn't around my computer, so, 2 days later, here's what Ihad done. Custom made by DeVries signs. I have one for the grille as well, but not on yet, waiting until I'm done with my grille mods, and still not sure if I'll do it or not.
Anyone think I should remove the deranged Coyote sticker from the right lower corner? I like it, but also like things being subtle.
