That's the sort of crap thing they put on vehicles of today, NOT classic vehicles.
Classic NOT plastic

If you are restoring something you reproduce it as the original

If you've only one logo to make then no need to go to all the trouble of making dies etc, just find someone in your area with the ability to hammer it into your panel with a blocking hammer. I'm sure, here in WA, my brother in law could do it with ease.
Cheers,
Geoff.

Book
Picked up a book ' Die Design Handbook ' over 500 pages of mostly not very useful info for the hobby type person , written by academics, time and motion experts . Just about Everything in this book relates to the of the economics of die making . Some fair amount of Maths in there too . Have to wade through many pages of waffle to find anything practical for a home hobbyist
