Default Stamping question?

I would like to make a Z-28 & a Camaro die to stamp 22g. steel & .32 '' aluminum.

I plan to make these on the CNC. I'm wondering would it be best to taper the edges of the logos (V-Bit) to lessen the chance of cutting the stamping metal? Or would the detail come out better if I straight cut the logos? The (1970) Z-28 is fairly simple but the camaro is script with some small details. I thought I'd use aluminum tooling plate for the die.
Hope this makes sense.

All you have to do is make the male a little smaller and it will not have a 90* bend . it will look like a taper

Gary, if you are going to do this commercially, you might want to make sure that GM won't shut you down for infringing on their intellectual property.

No, no commercial stamping here. Just for one lowly camaro.

Also, I should have mentioned I thought I'd try the suggestion to use rubber or similar material as the female die.
