Mac/PC combo Key Caps/Labels?

I have a hackintosh I use for work. I'd say my use is 70% Windows and 30% Mac. So I have a windows centric Logitech K750 solar keyboard (it's really nice btw). My only gripe about this setup is trying to remember what the keyboard keys translate in to in OSX. Ctrl, Alt, and Windows keys are obviously different in Mac. Given this is a membrane switch type of keyboard I realize alternate key caps aren't that plausible. But what about a simple sticker/label? Does anyone make a sticker that features both Mac and Windows icons so I can remember what is what? I did some brief searching but couldn't really find anything.

I found this one, but it's pretty expensive and I'm sure there are more like it.

I'm so confused. The only key that changes is the "command/apple" key turns into the windows key, and visa versa. Control and alt are still the same, at least on the new apple keyboards. 

 

Ok, I'm wrong. Just looked it up. I use an apple keyboard on a PC, so it's a bit easier. It does the mapping for me. Control and alt are still control and alt, and it puts the windows key where the command key is.

Sorry for necromancy, but I found a solution to this problem and I figured I'd leave it here because this is far higher on the google results than the solution:

Yes, I am absolutely going to buy an entire keyboard just to pull off three of the keys, because what I currently do is have two different keyboards on my desk and I move them when I switch my KVM at least twice a day.  If I had a nickel for every time I've almost typed my work PC password into a chat I was having on my other machine... it'd almost pay for the keyboard.
