"Get it on Open Game Art" - button for websites?

Monday, June 8, 2015 - 14:44

I have a website where I list all my sprite packs.

It would be great if there was some form of official looking OpenGameArt.org button that I could embed on my website for users to click on that would take them to download my art here on OGA.

Got any I could use?

Let me clarify.
See this button that you can find on some websites?:

Is there such one in the official style of opengameart?
Its much more cleaner and attractive than using a text link to direct people to OGA.

What is the font the top-left title of this website uses?

Thank you, I didn't know such a service existed. Seem like Ginza Medium is the closest one.

I'm suprised that no official banners/buttons or any similar things exist for OpenGameArt.org. I often keep running into people who don't even know this place exists and such embedable buttons could a great way to market this place and grow its audience.

Hopefully this feedback can help in improving the site.

You can make a custome one and release it here under PD or CC-BY

Ginza Medium is close, but not exactly right, and in any case non-free. I would wait for official word on this before making anything.

I'm inclined to agree with XCVG, but just in case the need is urgent for some reason, I made a quick button based on the site colors. I know the typeface used is definitely wrong, but it is a free, OFL font (Ricasso) at least, and it's reasonably close. I suppose I'd license this button under CC-BY.

@MedicineStorm

Thats is fancy, but there are certain things that prevent me from using it:
*Animated, complex and large = not good for bandwidth of my website in the long term
*OGA.org is the dominant text, not the "Get it at", thus making the button look more like a crosssite promotional banner, than a direct link to the item I'm offering for download
*I find the girl mage mascot irrelevant to OGA, as I identify more with just the name of the site, than the mascot.

I ended up making couple simple variants for my use, but I'll post them here if anyone finds them useful too:
