: Is there a name for this kind of website footer graphic? (taken from KeePass site) These images were quite popular on websites around the early 00's, from as far back as I can remember.

I believe you are actually referring to the Antipixel "under the hood" buttons (of blessed memory).



They were 80 pixels wide by 15 pixels high, with a simple bitmap font, stating that the site was web standards compliant, used CSS or XHTML, and so forth — along with any other buzzword-compliance that might have served as an in-joke in your blogging/tech community. There were at least a couple of button generator sites online at the time.

The trend bottomed out and died in the very early days of "Web 2.0", probably at about the same time as the CSS Zen Garden made the collection-of-bordered-boxes pretty much obsolete. You can still find traces of them in very old blog designs (along with 10- or 12-pixel text), but they don't tend to fit in well with a design that isn't the rigid bordered boxes that we once believed CSS imposed.

It's a webbadge Icon from the W3C Markup Validation Service. If your sites validates correctly you can add them to your website.

I am not quite sure what you are trying to ask. Some of these Iconset are still being used.
