Think you're going to have a hell of a time finding one.  You might try printing the logo onto a transparency, put that on thin foil tape or metal, glue it in place.   Or print your own custom logo and put it there.

Wcass made his own badges and gave them out at keycon last year. You could try talking to him to see how he did it or if he still has badges.

Forgot all about that.  Printable foil labels.  Get them at any office supply store, ebay, amazon, etc.

You could a close badge off an IBM 3178 board, just missing the 'Personal Computer AT' text.

Here's another option that I've yet to try:

Basically, you use heat to transfer a laser-printed image from a piece of paper onto a piece of aluminum.  You can buy special toner-transfer paper on eBay for this purpose.  This method is also used to apply resist to a copper-clad board for making your own PCBs.  I'd probably hit it with a coat of matte clear afterward to make the badge more durable.

I thought that turned out to be a badge from the computer unit, too large for a keyboard.

My 3178 is a parts unit, so if you want that badge it's yours.

Now that it is too late, I just remembered something else.

For future reference, keep on the lookout and snatch it up.

I think that it was Greek Stallion who found a box of IBM-branded 3.5" floppies with metal sliders including the logo.

There may be other logos out there, too, but I have never found any.

Yes sir. I found them on eBay.
