The current badges are "standard badge size" 2.5 x 3 inches. Would you buy a 3 x 3.75?

Photos of the current badge are here, for reference.

Apparently there is no evidence that vikings actually wore helmets with horns. "According to History.com, the legend likely originated with Scandinavian artists in the 1800s, who popularized portrayals of the nomadic raiders wearing the equipment in their works."

I haven't forgotten about this. Still in consideration.

Question: where would you put it? On your Volvo? On the front quarter panel or the tailgate? Or your fridge?
