Anyone ever make a custom headtube badge?
I'm thinking it might be fun to do.
Possibly enameling.

I tried something similar once. I hand-drew the design I wanted on a
sheet of .040" copper using an etch-resist pen, etched it down about
.010 with PC board etchant, bent it to the desired curvature, stamped
in the numeric identifiers I needed using my steed leeter and number
stamps, had it chrome plated, and installed it with drive rivets.
This was on a piece of equipment for which an ID plate was mandated
but none was available due to the manufacturer having been out of
business for 20+ years. I could have gone with tin plate and
eliminated the need to stamp it before plating, but chrome seemed like
the better choice. It looked damn good, but the copper was soft; it
would not have been hard for it to have been damaged by incautious
handling. If I'd had access to a rolling mill and thicker stock, I'd
have work-hardened the sheet while reducing its thickness before doing
the etch work. Heating copper just makes it softer.

I agree. Never do something the easy way when a more complicated
method exists!
Sounds like an interesting project!

I'd call Rivendell and find out who does their badges.

If you're making one it may be an enjoyable project. For a quantity look
for a cloisonne house.
