Good ideas so far.

You are welcome but the badge still needs a lot of work (atleast IMHO) .

Some ideas to improve (perhaps) :-

a. The badge size is much too large horizontally. See if you can
shorten it or do it in two lines so the height becomes a bit more.

b. Make an .svg file so people can pan it out without breaking the
pixels (or artefacts) to see how it is.

c. The shadow could be a bit more pronounced (the image is too small
to really know whether there is a shadow or its my imagination)

Hope I was not too hard on your first attempt.



Something to inspire you

useful tutorial. This badge is the first of its kind and I will try to make 
better looking web badges in future. Please have a look at it and comment. The 
font used is not the ttfubuntutitle, since I was working in on of my friend's 
machine which does not have that font. This we can modify in future 
versions.{Note: Website admins, please include the html code for the badge in 
our ubuntuin website. I have already uploaded the image file. The following
