The weblog is most famous for being the
first to spawn badges or buttons in a specific small and
unobtrusive format - 80 pixels wide by 15 pixels tall. A smaller movement has
been spawned to create similar buttons for links to, for example,
the site's RSS feeds and valid HTML, but also to link to popular web services.
Distinguishing features of the badges include a single
pixel border (which often
also splits the badge in a left and a right side) and the use of a
pixel font, Jason
Kottke's Silkscreen.
Due to their place of
inception, the badges are colloquially referred to as "Antipixel
badges".
