These badges are so nice. I looked for ages to get a cheap 1390136 just to get one - and I already had a black badge model xD .

They are really cool badges - just be aware the 3/4" badges are the smaller ones on the M122s, not the 1" badges like on the M101s.

If you are desperate and cheap, somebody (Greek Stallion?) found a box of IBM-branded 3.5" floppies with IBM logo on the metal slider that could be cut and fit.

Yeesh, you'd need a laser cutter to do that neatly, wouldn't you? Heh, though—you could also cut out your logo area and mount this sort of thing in it:

That's draw some double-takes at a keeb meet. You could tell people you typed so fast, you had to add the air vent to keep the controller cool.
