I'm doing a custom paint job on my Model 2 Genesis, and I'd like to be able to get replacement decals for the Sega and Genesis logos on the top.  Closest I can find is this: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Sega-Label-Aufkleber-Sticker-Badge-Logo-160-/181959677628?hash=item2a5da456bc:g:a~8AAOSwwE5WbFmF
but it's too small, and not exactly what I'm looking for.

I'm talking about labels like what's in this picture below.  Any suggestions?

The logos were originally stamped onto the system. You are going to have a hard time finding something simple to replace it.
You could use water slide paper, but most printers aren't going to print white. So that won't work in this case.
The best solution in your case is to make a cut out template and repaint it back onto the system. How I would go about this is to find someone somewhere who can cut vynil stickers and cut it out for you so it would be precise, stick it on the console, then peel off the sections that need painted. Then you can paint your logos back on and make it look professional.

Yeah, those suckers were silk-screened. No way to replicate that with a sticker or anything similar :-\
