    We've used metalskills for some stuff through work, pretty decent guys to deal with. There was an outfit called Designsteel that we've used before as well but I think that was more for bigger stuff.

    Really your only option is stainless if you want it to be scratch resistant, any shiny platings or ally will scratch easily... 4mm is a decent chunk of stainless...

    A wire eroder could produce a quality part that would be unsurpassed by any other process.

    Why would you want to make the logo out of 3-4mm sheet?

    Surely a thinner gauge would be a better choice?

    It is being debated, but the original idea is that when you put your logo on a half-a-million dollar piece of machinery, you want it to look worth $500K.
    Which is why I said "over my dead body" in regards to chromed plastic.
    "People are stupid ... almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true ... they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool." -- Wizard's First Rule

    Very good point. The answer then is be willing to spend the money on the logo too.

    Axis Routering in Hastings might be of use.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
