Default Tailgate emblems

Hey guys,
I had an R/T emblem on my truck, but after I got the new tires I didnt think it looked right, so I pulled it off ..... with 3 chips of paint. They arent very big, but they will bug me because they are all the way down to the metal. So now I need to put something over it to cover it up. I was thinking of possibly doing a "big horn" emblem, but it would be on the right side of the tail gate while looking at it, so Im not sure if that would matter. Heres what it would be. It comes on the left side of the Big Horn Rams like the bull is coming from the outside of the truck, and the writing is on the inside. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/09-10...ts_Accessories
Maybe Im just over thinking it, or maybe it would look fine. Opinions? The emblem would have enough area to cover the couple chips. My other thought was to do the stock V8 Magnum logo in the bottom right corner, but also add the chrome "POWER WAGON" letters across the back of the tailgate that came on the Rams. I want something different, and not just a V8 logo lingering in the corner. So I figured the POWER WAGON would look pretty cool. Give me your thoughts guys since I dont really want to keep my tailgate naked with the paint chips.

When I took my 4x4 decals of the bed of my truck to place the bed stripes on I wanted a way to let other know it was still a 4x4 so I planned on taking the slt emblem below the Dakokta emblem on the tailgate and put the one that this guy has on the side of his truck in place of the slt emblem. May work for you.

Thanks Brian. I may do that as well! I forgot about those, and while Im doing emblems .... I could add them to the list. Im still unsure about the logo to do in the bottom right corner of the tailgate though.

Big Horn were not on 2005-2007 dakotas as far as I know. Maybe a laramie or a flexfuel emblem may cover your blemishes and look more oem then the Big Horn.

Decided to go with the Big Horn. I wasnt sure about doing the V8 again as my chips were a little lower than the factory location .... not that anyone wouldve actually noticed the placement of the logo, but heres a pic:
