Head Badge Decal Options?
 
Are there any companies who make non-brand head badges or decals that won't fall off? I know you can buy brand head badges (Schwinn, etc) all day long but does anyone make head badges that aren't brand specific? If no one does they should.

I bought a die-cut vinyl sticker on ebay for $3:

You could always make your own out of some "water slide" decal or try some manner of embossing/debossing really thin Al...like a beer can (PBR Headbadge?). I'm sure the latter method could be down with a metal burnisher and an object that you would want as a headbadge. In fact I might just try this.

Interested in this as well. I really want a Mercier badge.

Thanks I had actually been there and done that prior to this post. Other than one chick making silver ones ("bike jewelry") pretty much everything else seemed to be about new or vintage brand specific badges. I wrote the chick and asked if she could make one out of stainless steel or something chrome plated. She said maybe on the stainless steel idea.

Hmmmm..
