That's a pretty cool idea. Might look nice especially if it was done
right... One possible source for this logo might be a keychain. Wal-mart
sells a Dodge keychain with a neat "glass" dodge logo in it. Mike
Clark scanned his in; you can check it out at:

Anyway, the keychain is only a couple of bucks (probably way cheaper
than an intrepid badge?) so if it doesn't work, you wouldn't be out
very much cash. I have this keychain too, and the glass logo is
just glued onto the metal backing. You should be able to slide it
right off (especially if you apply a little heat first, maybe
by boiling it in water). I haven't measured it to see wether or not
it would fit but you might want to check it out.
