I have looked a few times for badges like that, but with no mention of a transmission, but have never seen them.

I might be down for a pair of the stickers. It's really the same situation, but for some reason the sticker seems like less of a commitment. For me, it's just that Suburban 2500 with 8.1L got no badges from the factory, so I have mixed feelings about adding one.
 
here is a nice nv logo . then find a way to add in the 5speed or the 4500 model

It was mentioned quite some time ago in a thread about some interest in one-off stickers that mimicked the 60's 396 fender badges but made for 496/8.1L. I finally got a design put together. I haven't printed any yet. I'm looking for interest to get an idea how many I should print. Price is going to be:
$6 for 1​
$5ea for 2 or more​

I'm figuring on 5" wide which is the size of the original badges. These will be printed on a 3M brushed aluminum material so they'll have bit of brushed texture. Obviously stickers are going to be flat 2D versus the original badges, so I figure the brushed aluminum material gives them a little big of extra touch.

Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Okay, I have the material to get these printed so look for the buy now to be coming soon.
 
I went ahead and ordered the 4 max that your site allows.
Any way to increase the quantity so I do not have to place 5 orders?
 
After posting pictures of me putting the sticker on my mug, I should caution they won't hold up great to getting washed in the dishwasher. If you really want to stick it on a mug and machine wash it, I would stick it on and let set for a couple of weeks. That will let the adhesive cure out a little so it's stuck down a little better. I washed my cup the same day I stuck it and water got behind the sticker. You can just push it out, but it's a pain to do that every time.

In the long run the stickers just don't like that heat and hot water jet. Eventually they will start to peel off.
