I was looking at ways to add the logo to pushfit and other models where the shoulderpad is hard to replace when I came across Pop Goes the Monkey and their shoulder emblems.
As you can see it's a little thick. Anyone know of any skinnier ones to use or are decals the safer bet?

If you can find deacls, those are going to be the best option. In theory you can get some that you can print yourself, but I’ve no personal experience with them.
Etched brass is a thing. But again, you would need to find someone making something in the shape you want.
I’ve seen videos of paint transfer stamps. Originally a nail polish/art tech, with miniature applications.
And there is always freehand.

Fixed that.
I'm going to build a HH banner (aka the stick) into a 40k banner as I am really not-good at stuff like that.

I got a stamping set recently. Quite nice results, but you can end up with squiffy icons quite easily. Decals take more setup time, but you have more time to adjust the image.

Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!
