$20 Navigation Button Contest Simple Work! Easy Money :)

I am in need of a left side navigation menue / buttons for Black Hat World. Winner will receive $20 for the 15 or so navigation buttons in gif or jpg format. The buttons that the site is using right now are too big and hard to read.

http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/ (on the lefthand side)



The new buttons should be a solid color possibly orange or black, I will consider other colors that match the sites colors. Please post your design samples below. The winner will be paid via paypal at the end of contest. This contest will end on Saturday 12/15. Thank you!

 

Do you want them to have a mouseover effect or not?

 

A mouse over effect would be a nice touch, but it doesn't have to have one. Any other questions please let me know.

 

Here's my try:

#1.

Bottom is your original, top is the remake.


#2.

Left = default, Right = rollover

Let me know if that's what you're looking for. If not, what would you like changed.

I can add a rollover w/o a problem for the first, but I'll wait until feedback.

 

Your buttons look good. Make the buttons a little smaller. I like the round one a little more. I was hoping for something a little different than I already have but the rollover effect might help that problem. Thank you

 

I'll make it a little smaller, but the text gets harder to read when it's enclosed. In the second image, it's a little easier to make smaller.

I'll also show you the rollover effect.

In terms of design, I'm sure the yellow text is best (unless you want me to invert and try black) and the font needs to remain the same or similar to match your site.

 

I am also on it. Will post my entry soon .

 

With requested changes:



Let me know if you want it more glossy, or a different color scheme. I tried to make it so when you implement it on your site, it won't look out of place and you won't have to do any modifications to the rest of the site.

 

here my entrie... this is nclude roll over effect:
deffault and over.

 

How about these:

 

Feedback please

 

My Entry:

First one is how the buttons will look like in your site. Compared with current buttons.

In second image, there is rollover effect in "WhiteHat SEO" button.

The buttons adjust well with your site and text is easily readable too.
