There is some webpage that created these little pixelated White Stripes or Beatles pics that they got these from. I was wondering if there was a name for them, so I could find the original site.

Are you thinking of the Polyphonic Spree? www.questfortherest.com
It's not quite the same the people in your image, but that's the only thing I can think of.

They're called "minipops" - shorthand representations of bands and artists(and other celebrities) using only a few pixels - and were first created by Craig Robinson at his website www.flipflopflyin.com.
