i feel like it make it look like a kit car ... it looks very oem .. my build date is 04? wondering how this badge came to be

First I have ever seen. Is your car a 2005 USA-spec Elise?

My 2006 Elise has this in gold in the rear window in the left hand corner.

I thought it had something to do with England, considering the crown and all.

I tried an image search on google and came up with nothing.

"The Queen's Award for Enterprise"

When Jeremy Clarkson pointed it out on the side of an Exige he thought it looked like the letterhead from a middle eastern hotel. I think he got in a bit of hot water for that one.

Award for Enterprise

The Queen gives out lots of awards to many different companies for products that reflect well upon Britain.

I must admit it's a bit of a joke in the UK similar to the Queens recognition to products that she or the royal household use/ purchase.
"By Appointment to Her Majesty" blah blah blah : )

Wonder who commissioned the badge, very interesting...

These guys can make just about anything you want! I ordered custom wheel badges and they look factory.

ALL the 05's had them in the rear glass. I think this nose badge is not OEM, just something somebody had made up.

Very unique! I wonder who made it?

You wouldn't mind posting a picture of the whole front of the car? for perspective's sake
