Well, here's something close. Can buy anything and do the colors custom myself as well, or have it sent somewhere to have it done.
Nice. How small can we find?
Are we going to get logos?

@scottalanmiller Well, that's a mini ITX, and you could easily fit a 850 Watt PSU, an i7 4770K cooled by a corsair H100i , and a GTX 690 in there if you wanted. That's one of the larger more versatile rigs in that standard, and as a frame of reference, the compartment in the bottom left is for the PSU (Standard ATX form factor). You can find smaller ones and use AMD APU's for the processor. Could build a functional work rig out of one of these for... I'd say $450 with an APU driving the graphics, 8GB of RAM, a 250 watt PSU, 1TB of storage, and two Corsair AF 120mm Silent fans (LED or not) to make it whisper quiet. But you could easily make it cheaper, and that's pretty overpowered for a work rig. As stated before, a smaller cheaper case could be used if desired, cutting costs and size even more, though in a smaller case a low-profile CPU heatsink/cooler may have to be considered. I'm not any sort of expert on manufacturing Logos, I have no idea how much that would be.

@scottalanmiller Where would you want the logos if they were going to be on say, this case?

In the large side, I think.
-
Why not the front? I was thinking a Stainless Steel badge.
-
I was thinking something like a huge silk screening on the side.
-
Could do a huge Vinyl Graphic on the side
-
-
It makes it hard to put any sort of graphic on the side of this case due to the ventilation on this side, and the I/O Panel on the other.
-
@Mike-Ralston Oh right,
-
@scottalanmiller But as far as modularity and size, this chassis is the best choice.

I like the look. What does the front look like?
-
Like so. The front case badge is removable (I'm pretty sure). -
@Mike-Ralston Not bad.
-
I'm quite impressed with it. I was thinking maybe a case badge anywhere on the front.
