3D print in white PLA. I suggest thinner layers towards the front (top as it is printed) of the button.

If you want to glue a magnet to the back { Abrade the back of the button, and the magnet Damp the back of the button and the abraded magnet surface Apply a ~2mm diameter drop of Gorilla Glue to the magnet Clamp to the back of the button }

Remove bumps, sand the raised surfaces with about 120 grit.

Use craft smart Metallic Blue and Metallic Red gloss acrylic paint, available from Michael's. This will take 2-3 coats depending on how thick you apply the paint.

The logo presumably belongs to PLT Design, Inc. I'm just trying to make it available in a form that will let fans/supporters show a bit of Racket pride. :)
