I'd forgotten about another option in this area, https://coveralls.io

Most of these services offer their own badges which are largely visually
consistent - shields.io seems to be a meta-service if you really care
about having pixel consistent images.

Landscape health score
e.g. https://landscape.io/github/biopython/biopython/master/badges

CodeCov https://codecov.io/github/codecov/codecov-python/features/badges
e.g. https://codecov.io/github/peterjc/biopython/coverage.svg?branch=codecov
or https://img.shields.io/codecov/c/github/peterjc/biopython/codecov.svg

Or, if we register the official repository with them,
https://codecov.io/github/biopython/biopython/coverage.svg?branch=master
https://img.shields.io/codecov/c/github/biopython/biopython/master.svg

TravisCI build results https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/status-images/
e.g. https://travis-ci.org/biopython/biopython.svg?branch=master

Latest version on PyPI https://badge.fury.io/for/py/biopython
e.g. https://badge.fury.io/py/biopython.svg
or via http://shields.io/
e.g. https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/biopython.svg
