Social media has become such a big thing that even they must have standards around how they want their buttons and share badges to look like. Hence, I’ve complied a list of links that will bring you directly to the official badge creation pages of some of the major social media players as of 2011. Here you’ll be able to generate your very own social media badges that you’ll be able to add to your site(s). I hope this list proves useful, as it took me a while to track these down individually. They don’t exactly pop right off their homepage(s) screaming “here add this to your site, we need the market exposure”. If you like this list please remember to share with other fellow designers, developers, business partners, and anyone else I’ve missed!
