    Hey guys.

    I've just designed a button for my website. I've attached a .gif so that you can see it in action. Apologies that it goes so quickly, not sure how to change that in the gif.

    The Facebook and Twitter buttons also change colour (to their brand colours) when hovered, but I don't have a GIF for that.

    I appreciate all your replies.

    I think, that button is a prove that you need a workout! As long as the button is doing!! I went through some of your previous threads and I really like the designs you posted there. But now, I wonder how could you create such a nuisance.

    Anyway, its my personal view and may be I am the only one.

    Not sure I understand - you don't like the button?

    The speed for the button shouldn't be a factor on the design, it's simply because I uploaded it as a .gif :p.

    Looks good! Good color, good style.

    You can slow down the gif rate using:
    http://www133.lunapic.com/editor/
    Go to animation and adjust frame timing.

    I made a slower version for you here:
    http://bluetoolbox.net/contactus.gif

    I would be tempted to add slightly more curve to the corners of the contact button but that's just me.

    Looks like every button I've ever seen on modern websites.

    It's nice, maybe you can use this button instead for the place bid overlay you have on the other thread.

    It's nice, normal button. But I think it's not such a complex thing that it would need a review ;)

    Probably not, but I'm new to designing and felt quite proud! :p

    I would kill the animation. Maybe just have it jump on hover.

    Yeah, it only goes down when clicked - it's just that I uploaded a GIF and wanted to show you guys the difference!

    Me? Photoshop.

    Would have to see how it contrasts with the rest of the design.

    On a separate note, the GIF definitely grabs your attention.

    @InvestInPixels: Just curious... I thought you're using Illustrator and Fireworks instead. Thanks!
