Black and other colour not red you want it to stand out IMHO

The badge has 'VAUXHALL' stamped into the top edge, and the letter 'V' stamped into the flag that the griffin is holding.

How about gold lettering? Black on red backround with gold letters. Can then match my calipers gold with red decals.
