Well, it's a no-go on the Vertigo die. James said even at 1.5" wide, the letters are too close together that the details would all be smooshed.
I see two options:
1) Think about running the Vertigo logo vertically. I haven't made a mockup yet to see what that would look like.

or the cheaper option, suggested by James:
2) "If you let us set it up in type, we can come very close to the looks. The cut out letters is what is causing the problem. Since it will be so small, just using letters will not really change the looks."

*Sigh* Binding is never easy...
