Default Headrest embrodery

My 85 has aftermarket interior seat covers. They're in great shape, but they don't have "CORVETTE" embrodered in the headrest. Has anyone had a logo embrodered in the headrest? I was thinking of something similar to the C4 logo with CORVETTE under it. Similar to what's on this center console:

It was custom made. I found an upholsterer that could have embroidery done. I asked him to copy the logo that's on my Lloyds floor mats. He had that done when he recovered my seats.

You just have to search around.

Good luck
