Also on my blog.

I noticed that my C pointers tutorial‘s Creative Commons badge had gone missing. I guess they got tired of people hotlinking it.

So I grabbed it from the Wayback Machine, and when I did, I noticed that it’s in the classic 88×31 format used by so many miniature promotional images. If the phrase “Netscape Now!” means anything to you, you know what I’m talking about.

There’s been a growing trend of making new 88×31 images, some in higher resolutions for modern hi-DPI displays. So I thought I’d do one: redrawing the classic Creative Commons bug as a vector image that could be exported as SVG and as high-res PNG.

I think the original image falls under the CC-BY (Attribution) 2.0 license that was then current. I’m happy to place these new images under the same license or the newer 4.0 version.

in reply to @boredzo's post:

How bizarre. The entire point of the images (even though basically nobody understood) was that you hotlink the logo so that readers could use the URL to positively identify the license (without worrying about typos or geniuses who release under "a Creative Commons license" with no further information) or search for works that fall under a specific license. I guess that they all forgot...
