Yeah, yeah. Problem understood.

Well, it really depends on the use that this object will have. Will it be seen from side on? Is it going to be hi or lo poly?

I guess you could either create some text or curves, bevel plus or whatever it's called and then attach to flat band.

Or, If you're willing to accept a somewhat cheaper solution, then you'd just use displacement or bump maps.

I've included a couple of files for you to have a look at.

Instructions.
----------------
1) Create a new scene.
2) Create a poly plane - 2.56 x 1.28 units
3) Rotate 90 in X
4) Create new blin
5) Map colour to Enhzflep Colour.jpg
6) Map bump to Enhzflep Bump.jpg
7) Render

I've included the bump, colour and finished image files.

Just remember - I've only used 2 levels for the bump. White and black. The files are jpgs, hence the artifacts.
Total time spent is 5 mins including this post. You'll achieve something much nicer after some time and efort.

Good Luck.
