 # javatuples
 
-[![Build Status](https://api.travis-ci.org/flipkart-incubator/javatuples.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/github/flipkart-incubator/javatuples)
-[![Maven Central](https://img.shields.io/badge/sonatype-2.0-blue.svg)](https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/com/flipkart/javatuples/2.0/)
-[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-Apache%202-blue.svg)](./LICENSE.txt)
-
 This is a fork of [javatuples](https://github.com/javatuples/javatuples) with following improvements/fixes:
 
  1. Built on Java 8 using Maven 3 with latest plugins
  2. Serialization (with popular libraries such as Jackson etc.) working correctly
-     * This has been tested for data types `boolean`, `int`, `String` and `double` 
+     * Tested for tuples containing data types `boolean`, `int`, `String` and `double`  
 
 Even with above improvements, this fork maintains: 
 
  1. No change from original in its interface (your existing code should compile just fine when you upgrade to this)
  2. Zero dependency on any library (needs only JDK)
+
