Default Boot lid debadging and other options

Bought my new scooby home yesterday and straight away ordered a new set of Subaru letters for the boot lid as one of the "U"s was missing. Had a closer look and realised someone had already taken these letters off before and stuck them back on with some very poor adhesive which had left a horrible yellow colour around the letters (like the colour of old glue).
Decided as I'm getting a full new set I'd take them all off, polish the boot up and refit the new ones properly this time. However, now I've taken them off I really like the look of the boot but feel like it takes away part of its iconic image which is kind of bugging me.
Are there any alternatives out there? Maybe a small badge for the left corner where the Impreza badge usually is. Got to be something really nice and clean though no cheap eBay tat.
Hopefully someone can point me in the direction of a specialist Subaru website to order one from

That looks like an IMPREZA badge off a classic, the newage is bigger.

That hawkeye badge looks sweet, now I need something for the bottom left hand corner to finish it off...
Also would a hawkeye owner be able to measure how far down from the crease to the top of the badge it is for me? Thanks
