Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
Our friendly mod-man hawleyjr asked if I could post this image in case anyone wanted to sport a cool Dev Network brilliant button on their site. So here it is...
Please do not link to it. Rather, rightclick it, save it as and then reference it from your server. Thanks.

Google and learn. They are basically interchangable. Oddly, I hadn't heard of either name for them. I thought they were web-badges, which google tells me has nothing to do with anything remotely related. Oh well, so I think different.

I had no idea what they were called. When I googled 80X15 web graphics it turned up all sorts of hits for 'Brilliant Buttons' and 'Brilliant Button Makers' so I used that term ever since. I did not find any mention of Antipixel badges and hadn't heard that term until you posted it.
didn't know it had a 'real' name. i just called them website buttons. or 'you know that thing? that thing that is at the bottom of some websites? those buttons. you know....?....?'. that's not specific enough for a serarch in google

I did a google for web-badges and it brought up many examples of 80x15 buttons.. hmmm...
