Cabbie style:
I like this one, although it's looks a bit busy. And as Llorean said, we don't want the version and file size on it (since we'd have to keep it up to date, and the file size differs for different versions). I think it should be either "Rockbox utility" or "Download installer". Not both, since that seems to imply downloading an installer for Rockbox utility or something. It's perhaps also a tad too large.

Screenshot attached for reference

Somewhat better. I think the same font size should be used for both pieces of text. Does it need an arrow? Maybe having just the key, rather than the R would look better? It doesn't seem obvious that it's a logo, and so the R looks a bit out of place.

Edit: It's still rather large

One with and one without arrow, do you want it to be ALL CAPS?

I don't think caps or not is important, but I don't think the text stands out properly on that one. I do like the idea of using the "real" rockbox logo though.

Still not a fan of drop shadow for text.

BdN3504's version is what currently gets the highest score from me:



Possibly the logo should be slightly more toned down...

I would like to see it with a more subtle logo - I find it quite hard to see the text over the logo, and the result is that it looks quite messy. I do like the idea though!

ok, so i changed the opacity of the logo, left out the shadows and made the text bold:

I like that! Best one so far in my opinion.

How would it look if the arrow was on one side, and the key on the other? The arrow might need to be a bit lighter to avoid the tilting the weight..

Actually I think this is better. The font rendering looks a bit poor though, which is a shame.

I like the gradient/texture and font rendering of ZincAlloy's button better - maybe a combination could be made, using BdN3504's layout and idea with the cabbiev2-style button as base?
