Signs? Do you have any reference so we can see what your talking about?

Oh my bad, that totally went over my head. I thought thats what you had, and you were going to add to it..my bad
Not sure what material it is, but it looks a little like that kind of bronze sticker/decal style that companies put onto trophies/awards (cheaper kinds instead of using full fledge plaques) and the words are either silk screened or printed on there

Hmm
I'm not really good at identifying fonts, but did a quick look through MS word..the only ones that come close are "Rod," "Narkism," "MS Gothic" and "simplified arabic"
As for where to get these made, perhaps a trophy store of some kind? I know a few places around that do that kind of customization

You know if you have a brother label maker you might be able to use the gold and black decals. Just a thought.

Everything is right except for the " A" for ITC Franklin Gothic . I was looking through my ACS3 and found numerous fonts that are close. It's a basic Sans Serif font that has been stretched and spaced. The " A" could be made to look right.
you could print them on a sheet of gold/glossy card stock available at Michael's or any craft store and attached them . Or even go further and make a small screen print for them both.

If you don't want it done as a papery label you could have a trophy shop laser engrave you plastic plaques in that font.
I like that it has her name on it so if it gets lost they know who to return it to.

You know, I always wondered - who orders their equipment with their superhero name on it? I mean, if this was real, is Batgirl worried that someone might mistake her walkie talkie for Green Lantern's? Are the Legion of Super Heroes so shady that they have to put their name on all their stuff??!!

Doesn't look like the original was engraved. Trying to keep it as accurate as possible
Dry transfer lettering (Letraset or Chartpak) applied to thin brass sheet might work:

Very possible! One label could be covering the AM radio dial setting and the other label could be covering the label from the original maker.

I have a couple laying around here somewhere, waiting to be transformed. Lemme dig 'em up and see what model they are. But unless I'm very much mistaken they are indeed walkie talkies. I had a set of them come in and they both still worked.
