Vegetarian, Raw, and Vegan Web Badges

What if there was an effortless way to let people know that you were a vegetarian, vegan, or even raw vegan?

An idea practically hit me over the head on Sunday. What if people could share their nutritional choice in a supportive, yet unobtrusive and attractive way? I wondered why anyone hadn’t tackled this design challenge before. Over the thousands and thousands (millions?) of web pages I’d seen in my lifetime, I’d never seen anything like the idea in my head. Thus, the Powered by Plants badge was born.

Leafy Choices

The basic design for the graphic was already in my head, but it would take graphic design skills + patience to create something attractive and universal. I decided to follow the design style I started when I created the CommentLuv badge for Andy over at ComLuv.com, a truly excellent plugin for Wordpress and other blogging systems. The difficult part was deciding on what kind of leaf to use. At first, I experimented with some kind of 7-pointed leaf, but something didn’t quite fit… so I opted to use a broader leaf. The result is something that reminds me of a bay leaf.

Spread the Word about your Conscious Choice

Whether you’re a macrobiotic eater, fruitarian, vegetarian, raw vegan, or normal vegan, these badges are a snazzy way to spread the word about your conscious nutritional choice. If you use one of the badges, I would very much appreciate you spread the love and link back to the Spread the Word page so that others can get a Powered by Plants badge that matches their own nutritional choice. Spread the word that by making conscious nutritional decisions, we become healthier creators. If there’s an -ian or -gan that you like for your own site that I haven’t included here, please let me know in the comments.
