These badges don't fit in with other badges at all: it would be easier to integrate them if they followed the template established by http://shields.io.

@stuartpb, thanks for the issue but we made For the Badge as a joke to make fun of the standard badges like http://shields.io. Check out the about section on our site http://forthebadge.com for further details.

I'd still prefer to put these next to other badges.

Check the bottom of shields.io. Making custom badges from shields.io is fairly easy: .

Basically, https://img.shields.io/badge/<SUBJECT>-<STATUS>-brightgreen.svg gets you , and there's a bunch of other parameters available too, for styling, links, etc

In my opinion, forthebadge is way cooler than shields.
Forthebadge interface is really good.

I absolutely agree. However, it entirely solves the issue of:

These badges don't fit in with other badges at all

For what it's worth, I think badges.io styling actually is much better than this for informational purposes (it's small, to the point, etc). However, for nearly any other purposes, the FTB styling is nicer; for example, I use forthebadge in front of my notice that I'm too lazy to check my code.
