Sorry man, that was a fugged up answer on my part.

Any good Trophy place can make some.
They have engraving laser machines that can do that logo on a piece of rectangle stainless steel, aluminum, brass etc... Stainless would be the material to use though.
Put 3M tape behind that and you can sport some nice badges.
Down load a few logos you like from the web and their laser can read it to size or shrink/expend so it can duplicate perfectly.

That's the problem with most of these custom badge companies, you get rapped.
I think your idea of the GT/CS lettering is good.
Have them do that on a 1/8 or 3/16 thick piece of stainless and you'll have a nice badge after you round off all 4 corners and bevel the outside edge all around.
If they don't have anything like that, see if you can get some scrap stainless from places that make metal framing/custom trailers etc...
You have to think outside the box when customizing.

There's a white CS in my neighborhood with an emblem that looks exactly like that. Looks good too, IMO
