Hi, I've been using PortableApps for a couple of months now and wanted to add advocacy buttons (similar to the one for Firefox 2 at the bottom of these forums) to my email signature and blog and couldn't find one anywhere. The closest I could get was a simple rectangular image that someone obviously just cropped from the PortableApps site's banner.
Has anyone made any other images for that purpose? Specifically something close in shape and size to the FF one?

Advocacy/support images?
That's a great Idea. I would definately use them on other sites.
(C'mon John, a little publicity won't hurt)

I know of is this but I guess thats too big.

Yup, I'm afraid it is :/ I tried resizing it (using PortableGIMP of course ) but it doesn't survive the scaling too well-possibly due to the gif format.
For now I scaled down one of the banner crops to match the width of the FF and Thunderbird buttons:
90 pixels wide
And if you're willing to have two of those side by side the 180 pixels wide version will fit snugly below
I have made crude rounded button versions of the logo, should anyone want them.

If the authors of PortableApps could make a copy of the original psd or xcf docs used for the logo, I will happily create better versions
Try these:

I'll make some more later.

Thanks, the userbars are great for forum use (and maybe email sigs too) and I may well use one of them.
They're a bit wide for blog use though
But the words ("PortableApps.com") are too long to fit...
I'll get some more ones up soon.
