Cigar Box Guitar Nation Lapel Badges

Hi Guys...I'm looking into getting some quality enamel badges made and wondering what the demand might be. 

I'm speaking to local firms in Birmingham (badge making is a really traditional Brum trade, part of the Jewellery Quarter industries), so I'm looking to support local business by putting a bit of work their way..and getting a pukka quality product to boot.

The cost depends on the size of the batch, and I'll have to pay a one-off tooling fee, so the more I get made, the better price. Probably likely to be around a fiver a shot, fairly pricey I know, but you are looking at a short-run, 25mm diam. two colour British-made enamel badge.

Here's a first draft design..any comments..please let me know. If it looks like a goer I'll stick my neck out and get a batch made up. I'll need to speak to the manufacturers to see what the restrictions the tooling place on the design, so this may well get altered quite a bit simply in order to keep it practical.
