Art request - "download installer" button

[rasher]

As you might have noticed, the download pages have been changed to not show the table of targets (since it wasn't really helpful, and we want to push people towards using Rockbox Utility).

As a result, the page looks a little dull, and it's still hard to see where you can actually download the utility. For this reason, we'd like to ask you for your help to design a nice "download installer" button we can put on that page. Check these pages for examples of what I'm thinking about:
http://lattice.nidonocu.com/
http://getfirefox.com/

It doesn't have to look anything like that of course. Use your imagination - surprise us.

Here's what I came up with on the fly.

The file seems to be bad. 0kb.

Re-uploaded.

That style isn't really my cup of tea. Personally I'd like something that looks a little more in line with the general look of the site, or of Rockbox itself possibly.

I'm no graphic designer, but this is what I made.
It says "Get the" instead of "Download" because the link goes to the Rockbox Utility page instead of a direct download.
Maybe we should have the four main downloads(windows, mac, linux 32 bit, llinux 64 bit) on the download page, instead of linking to the potentially confusing RB Utility page. (see http://69.51.95.200:1828/files/rb/download.htm for a mockup)
Made with Inkscape.

Could you try that with a white or  very light gray arrow by chance? And maybe slightly bigger text?

Also, maybe "Get the installer" will make it clearer. "Rockbox Utility" may still be slightly unclear for first time visitors.

Because I cannot attach svg attachments, I put them here: http://69.51.95.200:1828/files/rb/

here's what i've come up with:

[Llorean]

We want a button that leads to the page, not a button to be used as a direct link. Something we don't need to update every time the version number changes, not to mention the file size may be somewhat different between operating systems.

That looks nice.

I think it wouldn't hurt if it was a bit bigger.

There are larger versions of the icon here: http://rasher.dk/rockbox/icon/

Edit: Scrap the size thing, I hadn't noticed the forum scales down images. Using Times (or what looks like it) for this kind of button seems wrong to me though. A sans-serif font and less tacky drop-shadow would be nice if you ask me.

OK, what do you think of this:

[Llorean]

I really don't like the use of chevrons for arrows, personally. It doesn't look very good to me, especially with them using up all the extra space like that. Looks more like random added emblems than anything. You could probably get away with dropping them entirely if you don't want to use a more normal arrow.
