The plate is nice, but the text looks like a little kid drew it... If you want something really nice, make a plate out of coated/anodized metal, and then have that plate laser etched with a laser engraver. Another idea is to make a plate the same as the one in the pics above, but have the lettering/logo done in vinyl, and then clearcoat it.

LOL I wasn't going all out on this and this was the first one I made. I did a few others that I did for WS6 and they came out nice. If I was giving it to you it wouldn't look like my kid colored it LOL

Looks SO good! I'm so tempted to be an *** and ask for one for my WS6 but I wouldn't wanna take advantage of something you do at work. Very cool of your workplace to allow this kind of freedom. Worker freedom, slack and rights are going away all too rapidly.
