Anybody know a source for old logos as stickers?

I'm planning on finally retiring my Logitech T-BB18 trackball. I'm getting a white M585, and putting a T-BB18 ball in it to make it look more like the T-BB13 I had in my teens. I've already tested this, it works. What would really set it off (other than seeing if I can dye the scroll wheel red) would be to get a nice little vinyl sticker of the old Logitech logo. But I can't seem to find anything.

I thought about just getting another T-BB13, since it was actually USB. But, I remember what a pain it was to take out the ball and clean it. I'd rather get a new M575 that is both Bluetooth and dongled USB.

If I were doing it, I would try to find someone with a laser cutter, make a stencil of the logo, and use it to apply paint (or fingernail polish) directly to the device. I suppose there might even be a custom stencil service out there somewhere.

Yeah, I definitely meant M575. I mis-typed it in one spot. Just fat lingered. I guess I should have specified that I also want the solution to be cheap. Preferably sub-$20.

That's not a bad idea. I do know someone with a laser cutter, actually. And I'm sure my wife has those colors in her over 700 bottle collection of polishes.

There are two things to consider:

  1. You can get custom stickers. There are lot of suppliers and they are not expensive, even for small quanitities. You can also get stickers to print on your inkjet
  2. However: Those logos are not vinyl stickers, they are printed on. You might want to take a look at those transparent transfer stickers people are using for their model planes or research how those custom lego printing places are doing it

I think I might just skip the whole logo thing. The red ball is enough to make me happy. It's gorgeous.
