Custom front emblem

I'm wanting something for the front grill that isn't the normal blue oval. I have a few ideas but didn't know if you guys might be able to work something out of what I have found/make the colors better. Whatever it is has to cover the blue oval indention at least but I haven't figured out how I'm going to make the emblem yet. I could always just cut the shape and have a vinyl printed I guess. I could always go with a Billet Badges oval as well if I have to. Here's the images I have found so far to use:

I like the horse in the first one, the wording in the second one, and the third everything but the horse.

Check out Fiver. Lots of aspiring graphical artists looking to add to thier portfolio and for $5.00 a pop, you could test several artists out and see if you can get a custom logo made to fit your desired look and demensions.

I just painted the oval the same color of the grille and put a decal of my liking on it. Simple.

Hit it with acetone (off the truck preferably) and it will remove the blue and leave it all shiny.

I don't have the oval yet. Buying a new one is around $40 and I'm trying to circumnavigate buying one when I can put that money towards something custom.

I have a billet one. It's just milled black. I like it. It's a little different. The 05 and newer emblems peel and crack like crazy and mine is behind my grille guard so I figured why bother? I run a Ford license plate on the front of the bumper anyway.
