I know the feeling!
If I wasn't broke myself, mine fridge would look VERY different than it does now.
Vinyl is pretty cheap, try a local sign guy- they should be able to do it easily. The emblem could be simply dremeled down metal, painted red, then either glued to the grill or put on a magnet for the nose sheet metal. Heck, of on the nose, red vinyl on magnetic material would work great. A sign shop, esp. a small one should hook you up with that fairly cheaply, as it is so simple.
