The mini series for "Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome" currently on YouTube has a scene near the end of "Finale" that shows a number of squadron Plaques mounted in a hanger bay on the Galactica. It would be worth your while to take a look-see.
Well I did all the vector tracing in Illustrator from a reference screenshot from the show. I then copied all the paths to Photoshop and did some bevel effect and texture overlays. This one was pretty simple compared to some of the others like the Aces n' Eights patch.
It would be worth your while to take a look-see.
