VersionEye Badges

[reiz]

Hey. Would be great if we would have VersionEye dependency badges who are conform with the other ones. Our current badges are self made and dancing out of the row. They are little bit to big. We tried to produce conform badges, but they are a little bit unsharp if we size them down to 18px high.
I appreciate every kind of support / input.

@olivierlacan we got them now sharp and online. But I guess there is still room for improvements :-)
Your feedback is highly appreciated.

The next step would be to make the yellow more dark. White on yellow is not optimal. And the green up-to-date badge needs to be aligned.

Just aligned the "up-to-date" badge with the other badges

Allright! We have now another badge for out-of-date. A little more dark and readable :-)

@reiz Thanks a lot for reaching out. We're working on providing Shields as a service fairly soon, which will solve the problem of actually generating badge PNGs.

As I've explained to other vendors, we like to stay away from promoting their brand through obvious branding and instead focus on the added value their service provides. While it's true that it refrains you from differentiating yourself from a service like Gemnasium for instance, it's a user-centered concern of providing a single coherent interface to open source repository meta-data.

Let me know if that makes sense, and my sincere apologies for taking centuries to get back to you. :-)

@olivierlacan Thanks for your response. I will check out the service. Actually the small eye in the badge is user driven. Some of our users complained about the first version because it looked to similar to Gemnasium ones. Would be cool if the service would support a small icon on the left or right site ;-)

@olivierlacan We are using currently the http://shields.io for our dependency badges. I consider this ticket as solved.

That's great news!
