The Graphics Gallery

My hoard of sparkly shinies... *caw*

This section stores the various images I nabbed from the internet. Some are here because they're pretty; others because they're funny, or creative. All of them have various metadata attached such as artists, source, tags and descriptions detailing why they're here.

Note that while most graphics in the Shareables section can probably be taken for your own site without credit, some artists would like to be credited and linked to – it's noted in the description of images if that's the case. (if I'm the artist though, you're free to nab it if the description of the graphic doesn't say otherwise!)

I also want to say that it's a bit insane how much artistry and creativity you can cram into such tiny resolutions, and that I want to honor that with this section.

Resources for finding & making more graphics

These can serve as a good starting point if you want more. Another good way to hoover up new buttons is to visit other people's websites and see if they have sections where they too share graphics and links to other sites.

Shareables

Graphics meant to be shared around and displayed on other sites and profiles

Buttons

88x31px graphics to link to sites, tools, show support for causes and more!

Some people also seem to call these "Badges", which confuses me on two levels:

  • Do buttons generally refer to small graphics used to link to each other?
  • If these are called Badges for some people, what would the graphics in my "Badges" section be called for them (or are they Badges too)?

NeoCities

An abandoned attempt at compiling every NeoCities button I came across

A modest collection of Neocities buttons. Since NeoCities themselves didn't release an official 88x31 button, several people have made their own. This is/was an attempt to collect them into a single page that I made because I found it tedious to hunt for that one button I wanted to link to NeoCities, but that I've now given up on because it became tedious to search for the source of every button.

The only two official assets that NeoCities made for sharing are brand assets on the NeoCities Press page.

Other collection efforts

Special

Those with non-standard sizes or special functionality

Stamps

99x56px graphics that display things you like, agree with or that look real nice
"A style of graphic that's most popular on deviantart, an art website that was popular in the early 2000s. Usually around 99x56px."
newlambda's graphics page

I also found a neat article that details how stamps came to be!

Note: Besides 99x56 there are also a few 100x56px and 99x55px stamps in here (and one 103x59px stamp).

Honeycomb Stamps

An experimental stamp format made by mooena

Blinkies

150x20px graphics, often with blinking borders and more space for text
"Small, flashing gif banners that were popular on cites like geocities. Most of these are from old geocities sites, but some have been made recently in the same style. Most banner-type blinkies are 150x20px, but "blinkie" can describe many small flashing graphics of different sizes."
newlamba's graphics page

I personally don't like blinkies that blink too much.

Special

Those with non-standard sizes

Web Badges

80x15px graphics often used to display info tidbits or link to things. More info
Also known as antipixel buttons, brilliant buttons
