I once knew a website where the user could generate the little W3C valid CSS tags which looked much nicer than the too large W3C official ones. It was also possible to fill the icons with whatever content and color for other stuff.
I've lost the bookmark and wasn't able to google it, can you post it and maybe other such resources?
EDIT: and yes I know ...
Can I modify the existing icons to create my own?
No. The validator's icons are distributed under the W3C document license, which allows distribution but does not allow derivative works.
BUT I don't care, cause I don't want my design to look ugly.
You probably mean antipixel's icons and LucaZappa's Brilliant Button Maker.

From the antipixel website:
If you want them, they’re yours, gratis, no strings attached.
Pull them straight off the main page here if you want, and if you’d like to change anything about them, go ahead and do that. I’m posting the Photoshop files below so you can download those and change anything you want. You do not need to give me credit or provide a link back here or anything like that. (Some people are already using them and at least one kind soul has posted such a link back here. You don’t need to do that anymore, but thank you for being a more than decent person.)
RSS buttons are also available.
