all right, so i really legitimately want 100x35 to become the new norm for affiliates (they're prettier numbers, slightly bigger, + scale down to 88x31 without stretching), so i'm gonna put my efforts where my mouth is.

to encourage more people to transition towards 100x35 affiliate banners, i will make one (1) 100x35 affiliate banner for any site that wants one provided that they offer it at that size (aka don't be a coward by taking the free banner + resizing it down when you rehost it). if you have any colors, images, and/or fonts you'd like me to use, you can provide me with them - i won't guarantee i'll use them, but i'll make a genuine effort to unless it's just a hot mess.

if your site offers the 100x35 space, you can also slide over to our tumblr page, here to advertise your own site (as well as list in the affiliate directory) and look around to find other sites to trade those new buttons with.

oh and if you wanna promote the project, you can snag the button code below

if you want more than just these two, just lemme know esuna's just got such stylized stuff that i figured you wouldn't want a whole ton of buttons with potentially contrasting styles tbh

just crop them both out and rehost them and you should be good to go to use them both!

Cutie chocobos! Thanks so much! I'll add them to my list!

I've made a few as well, if you'd like to update our banner. I've already done so for your site! :D


coming soon.

Genuine question, why not just upscale current 88x31 affiliates to 100x35? They don't look that different and saves the hassle of dedicating an entirely different spot for the new affiliates. You can say the affiliate size is 100x35 if people want to make accurate sizings but doesn't alienate current 88x31 ones. Idk if there's some unsaid etiquette about affiliate images being resized tho? but I personally wouldn't care for mine being upsized

Also the "Project 100x35" image is a little hard to read since it's red on red, if the words were white/other contrast it would be easier

Those are just my suggestions tho since I hope it takes off!

Not Kuroya, but upscaling does look different, and depending on the aff button can make it difficult to read. It's especially egregious on the pixel fonts that a lot of buttons use because it adds anti-aliasing where there wasn't any. I grabbed a couple random buttons to give an example.


Anyway, came to give my support! If/when I make another site I'll definitely be adding a 100x35 version of the button. :)

personally, i wouldn't want to just scale existing buttons up via coding because while some buttons might still look okay, others might turn out blurry or otherwise degrade in quality, which imo is kind of a crappy thing to do when the original site has no control over it + no way to correct it other than creating a button in the new size specifically for that site, thus defeating the point of not alienating the traditional button size crowd in the first place. (i also personally do not like it when other sites resize my buttons for this same reason so i'm obviously not going to do it myself.)

edit ahhhhhhh thanks beetle for visually showing that point <3 i literally just woke up so i'm still mobile + can't get visuals like that lol
edit #2 this is a resizing of my site's 88x31 area so you can definitely see some handle it better than others but also the transition from one of mine shows it pretty well too in the original vs the coded resized vs the redesigned resize.


if other sites decide to implement a switch that way, i'm obviously not going to stop them, but for me personally, it's not a direction i'm comfortable going in, so i'm definitely not going to recommend it when it's not that hard for most people to just shove an extra line of buttons in the existing table and call it a day

it took me a little longer with trying to replicate a little bit of the psd effects + match the font as closely as i could without knowing exactly what it was, but. i think it's a passable reconstruction of sr's button in a 100x35 size (since while it will size up okay-ish, you lose a lot of the finer details from the original image to do so)

Not for my site but a friends, I know that she was talking about how 88x31 was not her favorite but was the universal code. I know she would be happy for the help and up to make this challenge. She said when she gets back to the computer she will change the code but here is the site! Her Affiliate bar is now 100x35

Any type is fine!

(She does not use Proboards only Jcink but she told me to tell you that she loves this idea and to keep the pressure up!)

Because Syra told me about this site here I am, but yes what was said above. 100x35 is so much better of a sizing. I love this project and will help anyway I can!

Ah I was considering saying “this is not a reach out to make a graphic for me” in my original post but I didn’t think you would do it. Appreciate the thought tho!
