Styling 126 engine (transplant) badge?

[Kent Kurt]

Hi,
I saw a photo of a 500 (non Abarth) sporting a 695 metal badge and it made me wonder if it wouldn't be nice/fun to have a badge for cars with the 126 engine transplant stating a CC number matching those engines (650)?
Has this ever been discussed here before?

Attaching photos for reference only, the 695 badge is obviously not my proposal, but the overall style is.

....it would have to be "652" for me.:

I have the number plate to acknowledge the engine transplant! A badge would be cool though!

In 2016 I was given permission to visit Gordon Murray Designto meet Gordon and to take photos and make notes for an article on Gordon's 2 Cinquecentos. 1 of these cars had a Yamaha 350 engine in the back; it was being used as a test-vehicle to see how SMALL an engine could succesfully be used. Through the gears, it was a quick as his other version, a 650 engined car, with both variations having just about the same top speed. Gordon had a special badge badge made for Yamaha powered vehicle in the "square" style of the 500L--it read:-- "Fiat 350" (with the '350' below and slightly to the right of 'Fiat'). It looked so authentic that upon a quick look, one didn't initially notice what it read! I can see no reason why a similar badge, but with 'Fiat 650' on it in the same simple style could not be made.

Alright, what should the actual number on the badge be?!
The Abarth ones did some rounding, 594cc became "595" and the 689.5cc became "695", probably to make for a nicer number graphically, but someone here might know the full story on engine displacement CC rounding.
I suggest we make the 126's 652cc into 655, but 650 is also an option that might make for a nicer looking graphic.
