Some of the firms listed below are new to me, but I
not only know Scotgold, but two of my home machines
sport case badges that I bought from them.  The
problem with even Scotgold, a firm with whom I have
had very satisfactory dealings is two fold:

- The prices are unacceptable for a trade-show
give-away item.
- These badges look nice, I want stunning.

There used to be an Austrailian based firm "Silicon
Breeze", now seemingly defunct that made truely
stunning metal case badges (at prices to match). You
can see some examples of the sort of work "Silicon
Breeze" did here:

Now, I don't think I can reach that level (at least
not yet :-) ), but I do want to top what is to be seen
at places like Scotgold :-) .
