Link-back graphics other than 88x31's

[Daniele63]

We all know about the 88x31 button, and it's very commonly used in small websites nowadays. But I also noticed other kind of buttons/graphics existing with different sizes, I made this thread so we can share knowledge about them, maybe with some historical facts to know where they come from, the context in which they were used, etc.

For example, I found this 150x40 graphic on an old archived website that rated dress up websites.

Wouldn't it be cool if we started to use other button sizes again? I'd be up for it but I don't know much about them.

Woah, loving those 150x40px graphix, might make one of my own!

I personally really like 100x30 and 50x50 images that a lot of fanlistings use, because they're easy to put into a nice looking grid. Also there's enough detail in the image so the image doesn't look blurry or compressed.

I think it'd be great to have all different sizes for link buttons, but it's also nice to have a standard. However, there's nothing stopping us from making a standard of multiple standards!

What if everyone used either 88x31 and 150x40, or maybe 176x50 to make it align better with an 88x31, so that the width is exactly double/half one another? Wouldn't that be cool?

I remember there being 88x16 link buttons

  On Japanese sites the popular button size was 200x40, here I have some examples

My website banners are available in the usual 88x31 size, plus some 80x15 (which is the web badge size, common in blogs) and 161x38 (saw it used mainly in collector fansites) options. If I would find time to make some more, I'd prolly go for some square options in 50x50 (the DA avatar size! Classic) or even in 32x32, which if I remember correctly it's the standard size of a Windows icon.
Usually not a fan of large banners but the 200x40 examples provided by @Seechain are beautiful, I might use them as inspiration for my own!

I always found 88x31 buttons to be a bit too small for my tastes. Would love to see something like 150/200x40 take off.

Might have to make my own for my website, soon.

I will say I one thought Iv had is making SVG buttons that fit the aspect ratio. Its the future and we can make images that can scale to any size! Though no pixel art fun, and I'm biased as a high DPI monitor user.

Those look soo nice! I think I might do one for my own site later in that same style.

I've been making 135x79 stamps. That resolution let me make all the corners look good.

  Great

It would be great to see an Archive-Tan banner in that format.

  I came back to the post because I remembered that 88x15 banners were called Antipixel Buttons, you can google it and you'll find quite a few examples.

I'd like to know too. I've only seen 88x31 buttons and the occasional bigger size for forum signatures.

I've seen these before but never knew what they were called! It would be a cool project to start cataloging different box types and bring them back.
