Vince Noir Zoo-niverse Costume

Hi all, I recently started thinking about getting an (at least mostly accurate) Season 1 Zoo-niverse Vince cosplay together (as one of the cosplays I can do now I'm growing my hair out).

I found a link to where to buy the base Jacket on another thread: http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=68603&highlight=vince+noir
But I'm struggling with pretty much everything else. I'd like to use this thread to document my findings and perhaps get some help from other interested Boosh fans.

I have a basic list of things involved in Vince's different outfits:

Jacket:
Green Zoo-niverse Jacket -https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WA9H8K4..._u1F3vbSPKYWGA
4 Badges on Jacket (any help identifying and/or finding them would be much appreciated):

After not being able to find a Zoo-niverse patch for sale online I decided to make my own with some of my dad's transfer paper. With his help I have done a few tests on different materials and found white cotton bed sheet material and a thicker white cotton from a sheet he used for decorating to be the best. Here they are cut out, I have also used a black marker to blacken the edge of the white material.

After a search I have also identified all but one of the badges.
The POP badge I have linked the most similar one I can find but I'm keeping my eye out for a badgemaker.
There are two others:
A Johnny Rotten 1" badge:
johnny-rotten-black-white-button-badge-9878-p[ekm]298x300[ekm].jpg
And a Gary Newman 1" badge:

The Newman badge is dead on but the Johnny Rotten Badge is a fluorescent green on Vince's jacket so I will either Photoshop that picture and make my own or buy a B&W one, take it to bits and green it with a highlighter or just permanent marker over the clear button. My only problem is identifying the badge with what appears to be a person walking or standing with either a red x on either side or a row of three red x's:

I also think that instead of being on a plain white background it's on a sort of silver shimmery background.

I'm getting the jacket and some other stuff for my birthday so I'll update on that then.
For now I'll keep looking for things and post when I do find them and if anyone can Identify that mystery badge or any of the other stuff any help would be awesome :)

My laptop is embuggered at the moment so I'm sorry about the lack of updates and pictures as it's difficult to post photos from my phone for some reason.

Anywho:

The jacket came a few sizes too big but I received a replacement in a size 14 this morning. I have already added silver piping to the top of the beast pockets as well as adding re safety pins on the bottom of the jacket and the chains and pins on either of the beast pockets. I have drawn and cut out the skull and crossbones patch from white felt and stitched it to the pocket. The keyring is attached to the zip pull as well. I have also acquisitioned some dark blue slacks and a very good stand in red and white striped women's thin jumper/t-shirt. All I have to do now is: stich a button onto the eye of the skull and crossbones patch, aquire some white or red cowboy boots or gold/silver beetle boots, buy a flying v necklace, print and make the Zoo never seen patch slightly smaller than my test ones, iron on the kiss army patch, make and sew on the nor on the pocket, and finally to buy his white belt.

Looking forward to getting this to a con! (And getting on with another project or two!)
