In preparation for the launch of version 2.0 of ResearchBlogging.org, we’ve redesigned the icons that you may use to indicate you’re blogging about peer-reviewed research.
Starting tomorrow, we will be replacing the old icons with icons that match our new site design. The icons are inspired by Uriel Klieger’s original winning icon, but have been simplified so they work in more different contexts.
Here are the icons:
If you have used our citation generator to create the link to our icon, you shouldn’t have to do anything — the icons will be automatically replaced on your site. They are the same size as the old icons, so they should not affect your site design.
We hope you like these new icons. We’re getting very close to the launch of our new site — this is just the beginning!
One note: these are temporary placeholder icons. The final icons on the new site will be slightly different, so it’s probably not a good idea to spend a lot of time tweaking your site to accommodate these icons (and we hope you don’t have to!).
