A method of forming a badge may include thermally forming an indium film into a desired shape for the badge, including thermally forming a raised symbol above a front surface on the front side of the indium film; molding a plastic back layer to a back side of the thermally formed indium film; and molding a plastic front layer to a front side, opposite to the back side, of the thermally formed indium film. The badge may be mounted on a front of a vehicle.

An illuminatable vehicle assembly includes, among other things, a substrate, and a multi-layered film atop the substrate. The multi-layered film has a dielectric layer that emits light. The dielectric layer is disposed between an anode layer and a cathode layer. The assembly further includes an overmold layer atop at least a portion of the multi-layered film.
