Help! Brickbadge Troubles....

So, for Brickfest, we get a cool “Brickbadge.” Perhaps you’ve seen them. A couple of 1X8 bricks, engraved and put together for a cool nametag. Brickfest is no different.
It seems that everybody decorates the tops of them with minifigs or bricks or things. I once saw a couple of Kanohi on top, and this sounds like a good idea. But I’m still having troubles on deciding on what to put on top of mine. I have a couple of thoughts, with pros and cons:
1) Brutaka Mask. All I have to do is put it on a 1X2 brick with a plus rod hole in the middle. But, it juts out backward at the top and might get uncomfortable and/or lean my brickbadge down, limiting readability.
2) R2-D2 and a Devastator Robot. Simple, Star Wars and a popular Lego line, and a robot theme. Too bad a Kanohi won’t fit as well, there’s a good robot theme. Con: The Devastator robo is a little unstable.
3) Transparent neon green barrels. Eight studs, so six barrels in the middle and a cone on each end. Problem that arises is that the green might clash with whatever the colors on my badge are.
4) Find a good minifig that will look good in blue legs. Reason being is I have some crummy, loose blue legs that I wouldn’t mind gluing to my badge. I have more blue legs and I can get some at the Brickbazar. Con: I have to glue peices together so they won’t fall off. Only some legs, and can probably be taken off, but still...
Another minifig problem: I’d like to use some Exoforce hair, but that’s kind of loose on the heads.
So, any suggestions?
