I've always called them buttons, but I've also seen them called badges.  You can find a whole bunch of them here and this website lets you make your own simple looking buttons or badges or whatever you want to call them.

Re: what do you call those cool little icons?

yeah, they're just buttons, you can normally find them on  any home page lying around.  I just steal them and link to people's home pages with them.

The firefox one is special one tho - it is part of the getfirefox thing and it's registered and the links from my page are counted or somthing...

naw but he's red in the picture.... which means ass-kickage (... or the main character's brother / the man he will become ... depending on how deeply you'd like me to analyze it)
