I wont be able to make them for sale, sorry Thailoz. But I'm trying to make it easy for you guys to have a go yourselves!
The other method I was playing with on making a master to take a mold from is photopolymer plates. This is the way rubber stamps and printing plates are made. It is basically a plastic sheet covered in a UV curing resin. You print a transparency of what you want and expose it onto the sheet so that the UV cures some areas an not others.   I had an old UV sun lamp which was greatm cured the resin in about a minute. You can do it with just a plain halogen lamp and it takes about 8 mins.   Wash out the uncured areas and you have a relief version of the logo that you can take a silicone mold from. I would probably stick it to a disc of mdf or something the right diameter for the badge so I can get a deeper overall mold. Oh yeah.. Total time to make this one was 25 mins rather than 4 hours on the CNC, plus you can do more at the same time.

If you dont want to piss about with resin casting you could just fill the mold with clay, bake and paint!
   If you want to be really posh you can buy a silver metal art clay that when fired turns to pure silver. Cost about £45 for enough to do a badge though. Cheers Stot

 I superglued the photopolymer versions onto some discs of MDF the right size and cut round them then wrapped some electrical tape around to give a clean edge.  Put them in some molding forms and poured silicone onto them, left it to cure and demolded.

  Perfect copies, a lot less finishing needed on casts from these molds as they are flat, my CNC one had a slight dome to it. The larger one is for my wheel centre caps. Heres the first casts out of the molds.  Cheers Stot
