I'd be willing to shell fifty bucks or so to put my hands on some.  :)
My latest copy of FreeBSD came with bezel stickers (from Walnut Creek),
which might be a good start.  I'm fond of the Iwo Daemon logo, and am
trying to come up with something along the style of the supported
platforms logos.  I've got a DEC (|d|i|g|i|t|a|l|) style logo, the Sun 

N  et

B S D

logo looks too much like the NeXT logo, the HP version is just done in
the hp font, and NetBSD/mac68k looks very sharp in Garamond font.

Perhaps dual styles?  I'd like the Iwo Daemons style logo for the
bezels, with the word NetBSD done in 1/8" or so letters across the
bottom.  I'll try to run a version of this logo this afternoon.
