Default Jeep emblem musings

So it's not stock question but I am not really sure of its really modified JK tech.... anyways here it goes:

I have a red JK which came with a red grill which bugged me.... all my jeeps always had black grills. Anyways long story short I picked up a spare grill and just put the last coat of black semi gloss bedliner paint (side note - it helps that I picked up a black grill so that if it the paint gets chipped it will be still black underneath.... albeit sanded glossy black )

Anyways- the grill I picked up had no emblem on it and I don't want (at least for now) to remove the emblem from my red grill. But it feels naked without one so options I have are

- by another emblem (Jeep)
- paint one on
- do something different
- leave it bare

So given the choices- what do y'all think? I know... trivial.... I have always been function over form but somehow I fell into this trap of visual mod and now I can't get out of it.....

Get the emblem from a Recon model. They are satin black with a very small amount of red around the edges

I might actually keep it without an emblem. It ended up looking good the way it is!

One of the first things I ditched. Went with a little Mad Max tribute instead.
