Yes,, you have the model missing the logos -- which either means they left them off during a repaint or they were appropriated by a passerby.
You can order them...

The '68 'vettes didn't have the emblems installed from the factory, (who knows why) and the '77 and later C3 'vettes didn't have them (again, who knows why........maybe they just ran out and didn't order more?)

The 68 was called a Sting Ray (two words) in Chevy lit and ads. The Stingray started in 69.

The 68s are not Stingrays. That's why.

See above.

Your 'vette came from the factory with Stingray emblems, so it was a Stingray, but now that the emblems are not there any more, it's not a Stingray anymore. But don't worry, if you put the emblems back on, it'll turn back into a Stingray.

I have a 1980, it wasn't born a Stingray, and so, can never be one, even if I put emblems on it. But I'm still going to put the emblems on it anyway. No, wait.......I'm going to put Sting Ray emblems on it!!! That way I can **** even more people off!!! MUAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!

OK, I been thinkin' on it, and here's what I'm really gonna do. I'm going to take two Stingray emblems, and cut them, so they say "Sting ray". Maybe even chuck a hyphen in there, I haven't decided yet. Then the Emblem Police won't be able to touch me. Ahhhhh, the perfect crime!!!!
