$5 - a small button

How about this...

 

I like it. Price is too small though.

 

Will edit them to make the price a bit bigger.

 

Here's my button. Let me know if you'd like a shadow or anything.

 

Feedback appreciated,

whoa, thats cool. I'll take that one.

 

thread closed. thanks for entries

 

<laffs> Who knew that WEB2.0 Rounded buttons were copywritten!!

 

They aren't but he copied the exact image I made. Every pixel was the same.
Not sure about other designers here, but I certainly don't like thieves that try to take credit for my work.

 

I agree with Nora, that was a blatant ripoff of the design.

 

ok..
Sorry Nora..
I didn't mean to steal your design so please don't call me thieve! i didn't take credit on your work.. in my button the color is a little different and the text isn't the same..he asked for 2.0 so usually the reflection is like yours.. that's it
i'm a long time in this forum and nobody called me thieve or any other way
i won't continue this anymore and sorry again Nora

 

I'm sorry you feel that way Nora but from what I saw the _only_ thing similar was the gloss, and rounded button.

um - it was however _exactly_ what the client asked for.

The font wasn't the same, and he posted a gradient before you had posted it.

Any hack can create a button like you did.

Now ask yourself *how* professional is it to call a person a theif for creating
such a simplistic button using a different font. In my very humble opinion
not very professional and If he had actually stolen something of merit I would
be all over him backing you up - but a glossy button..... That's petty.

 

If you didn't use her image, ignore it.

 

My image and his image:


I'm sorry offiri0, it's a misunderstanding between the two of us, I don't think you're a thief I just said that in the moment when I read Tightwad's reply. I don't think you were trying to take credit, you just made the changes requested using my image. You were thinking in the interest of the contest holder that's all.

It's the idea behind it. Whether it's a stupid little button or a professional design, the idea behind it remains the same. I was requested to make changes to my design, instead he did so. I was just angry seeing his copy right after mine with the requested changes. I don't think he's a thief, I was angry when reading your reply and I'm sorry offiri0, I shouldn't have called you that. I'm not trying to turn this thread into an argument zone, I just wasn't comfortable seeing what he did but as far as I'm concerned it was a mistake and no harm was intended from his side.

 

I completely understand where you're coming from because I too make a design and see something similar soon after I post only to have that person reap the rewards for my concept.

But when I looked at the two images I really only saw the rounded button and gloss were similar - and upon further and closer examination you can see his color is different the gloss outline is slight off by mere pixels than yours is.

 

Yeah, I just noticed that. I don't blame him or anything but I just noticed too many things that were the same for it to be a misunderstanding, to me it looked like someone was trying to make the changes directed towards me before me to steal credit. I now know that wasn't the case but I just got a little irritated in the moment. Again really sorry for calling offri0 a thief, he isn't one. Hope I've repeated it enough times for everyone to finally get it

Glad the contest holder chose pkal's design though, it really stands out so congrats pkal.

 

In the time you spent arguing about this point, you could have earned about 100x more than the contest prize! lol
