    Hello all

    I would like button icons designed for the following magazine subscription website

    See page http://www.magazinesubscription.co.uk

    1) I want to replace the "Search For Magazines" with a icon with those words
    2) I want a button/icon to replace the "Compare Prices" text
    3) I want a button/icon to replace the "Review This Magazine" text - button to say "Review"

    See page Computer Magazines

    4) I want a button to replace "Subscribe"
    5) I want a button to replace "More Infomation" button to say Info

    Any suggestions for other improvements on the site would be appreicated.

    Above looks good and it just what I'm after button wise, I'm just not 100% on the shapes, the compare prices shape isn't fluid, It needs to have smoother corners. Search bar is good (not to happy with colours though)

    Also the colours re difficult to read. I would like nice bold colours, I don't want to stipulate a particlaur shade etc however It needs to be readable.

    excellent so far though!

    What shape would you prefer?
    What color would you like for the search bar? (the menu green color?)

    I'm revising the "compare prices" corners.

    I'm still struggling to read the lettering, I think it may be wise to try a different colour than the green. May be have different colours for the different buttons, e.g http://www.magsite.co.uk has diffent colours for the buy, info etc

    These are looking good. I like the way you've used the site logo..

    Only thing I'm not keen on is the shaded button. I'm not sure if its the text style but it still appears abit hard to read.

    I've copied some images below from another website which appear clear colours and clearer text.. -

    Hi

    I like the set you have made.

    Would you be able to change the colours of the subscribe button to red and the compare to blue?

    Thanks

    Mally
