I googled and only found one place to do that, and it's expensive (they use sterling silver)

http://www.headbadges.com/

Do you know place does custom head badge besides that shop?

That is Jen Green. She did some headbadges for me with the plum grove cyclery logo. She does it a few ways, wether you want a one off or are making a mold, as she did for me. She will do pewter as well as silver. She is the only person I know of and was good to work with, other than some delay returning emails. Nothing bad, just a few days, but we are all human and get busy, so no big deal.

I think there are some other folks around here that used her for one-offs. I am sure they will pipe in when they see the post.

You can also go to a graphics shop and have a custom decal made for a reasonable price. Or you could always go with a cap badge.

I already check out Jen's site and just wonder if there's any one out there besides her.
