Where to find affinity badges?

Is there some centralized source for affinity badges?

Jonathan has a few nice ones on his blog:

Download Java Download Netbeans Download Solaris

And Deepak has a nice tutorial on using affinity badges, providing these examples:

I like that each set has a consistent style (with complementary dimensions, colors, and fonts to the degree possible). So back to my original question... Is there some centralized source for finding such sets? A "badge directory" of sorts for Sun-related projects (or beyond)?

Sun Java Studio Creator and Sun Java Studio Enterprise have plugins for adding an affinity mark to pages saying they were created with that IDE.

Hi Dustin. Interesting. Perhaps that idea could be extended to ease/encourage the use of affinity badges in web pages developed in any of our tools. Instead of just a tool just offering easy inclusion of its own affinity badge, perhaps it could offer a nice menu of other badges that the user might want to include (say GlassFish and OpenSolaris, if that user happens to be a supporter of such and planning to deploy the page on that stack).
