Best way to attach logo to Spandex Batsuit?

Okay, so I'm making a Batsuit for a con and messed up the chest logo on my first try. Heat-bonding warped the fabric, and it peeled off super quick. Bummer!

Got a new suit coming and don't want to repeat the error. I might try sewing, but I'm not great at it and worried about stretching the fabric weirdly.

Any tips on how to attach a logo to spandex so it stays put and looks good? What's worked for you?
 
If you're set on sewing, definitely get some good quality stretchy thread like the Gutermann Mara 100! Also use a walking foot on your machine if you have one or just go slow with a zigzag or narrow stretch stitch to prevent warping! But honestly, other times, I'd just use E6000 glue! It's super flexible and it holds up really well! If you're considering that, just do a small patch test first.. apply it thinly and let it cure for about 24 - 48 hours with some weight on it. It's given me awesome results on spandex!
