I don't know of any embroidering technique that uses anything other
than different threads to produce different colors. (not sarcasm, I
don't know much about it.) How would the embossing work, roughly?
The great thing about the oxygen k is that everyone's logos are
simplified to avoid these issues; MS's logo comes closest, but is
still much simpler and even that looks pretty lousy in print.
Last time I saw this issue come up I printed out the logo on high
quality paper with a nice inkjet. It looked good and I firmly believe
high quality stickers and such is the best we can do with this logo.
I was not able to find any examples of fashion clothing with the
oxygen k's complexity. This is why without a specially designed logo
we would likely have to go back to an old k logo I guess.
