I remember back in the old days the valley was thick with companies that made computer badges for clone makers. Miles and miles of one-inch squares. Gold mylar film with black lettering was the go-to option for cheap companies, and the ones who wanted to be classy got their logo in relief in magnesium with one or two painted/powdercoated spot colors. Someone not concerned about trademarks could have cranked out a roll of a thousand of these for $2 a pop.

Did I mention Unicomp used to sell these for like a buck before Webwit bought them out?

They still have, just that they can't sell it ._.
