Antipixel Badges


I had a flashback to my original web development days a bit earlier.  I remember using these little web badges on my site, but couldn’t remember what the hell they were called.  After a solid 15 minutes of web searching, I finally found it.  They were called Antipixel Badges!  You can still see them kicking around as HTML & CSS validation tags in a lot of places.

If anyone can enlighten me about the name I’d love to hear it.  My guess is a user named Antipixel actually started making them this way and it caught on.  That’d be a decent internet legacy if you ask me.

Anyhow, I found a few online generators if you would like to make your own.
