Website Badges
I’m sure you’ve been to a website that has the little site badges on them. I’ve got some on the sidebar for different blog lists I’m members of. They’re a neat way to graphically link your sites to others. But how do you make them? You could use some photo editing software. There are templates for Photoshop as well. But I’ve found a neat tool, the makes it easier than ever to create your own site badges. It’s called “80×15 Brilliant Button Maker.” It’s a tool on LucaZappa’s website.
Very easy to use. You can change foreground and background colors of the button. If you don’t prefer colors, you can use images. The default font is called “Silkscreen“, commonly used for small type. But you can also choose from a number of other micro-sized fonts as well. As you mend your creation, you can preview the output. Once you’re satisfied with your design you can download the .PNG version of your work. There is even an option to directly upload it to Imageshack.us for hosting. There ya have it. A button maker that is truly “Brilliant.” Below are some examples I’ve created using the tool.
