[tei-council] TEI badges, first look

[David Sewell]

I have put one of the "A" samples here:

http://rotunda.upress.virginia.edu/index.php?page_id=Home

It looks okay, although I think either the text of "HOST" should be
larger, or the width of the button smaller (the designer intentionally
kept the widths fixed, cf. http://people.virginia.edu/~bc4m/tei/ , but
that's not a necessity).

Gaby, could you create another example or two as offered?
