So, the order button is now red, which is bad according to my eyes. I found some marketing material to substantiate my claims.

These ones are compressed 26%, seems to have killed the green, not sure if i like it

Edit: yes, there is some wonkeyness with the non vector nature of the font on the greens, but still.

Eeeah. It may matter to some people, but if you want a Pandora the colour of the button isn't what's going to sway you in the direction of buying it.

But the green one does look prettier... red is more of an 'Out of stock' colour.
 
As I don't know were to put it else:

One possible customer brought up the problem that whole "menu part" on the right isn't showing in IE8/IE9. So maybe this could be fixed while changeing the buttons color ?

Edit: sorry, mistook this as the "openpandora.org website needs another button" thread

I'd also recommend :

Having a clear & prominent link to Buy now & the Repo on the forum Nav bar so they can be easily reached from anywhere in the forums / website.

Far less important :

Change the following wordings :

From :

Click here to download Pandora games and apps

To :

Download Pandora Games & Apps

From :

Click to visit the German Boards

To :

Visit the German Boards

From :

Click the button to get a Pandora!

To :

Buy a Pandora,

I will just note that the version currently in use is the version I drew.

Please don't redistribute it without asking me and/or EvilDragon first.
 
I say, no matter what color it is, put the button somewhere else. At least on my 1024x768 resolution it doesn't show whithout scrolling. Make it bigger and put it towards the centre:


Edit: considering the massive size, it should be a color harmonizing with the blue of the page I guess. Could add "available from stock" and other shenanigans.

Edit: Noticed that the embedded video is off

Edit: Just watched the video, "bullshit" maybe should be reworded to "nonsense" or similar.

Must admit, I never noticed these new buttons everyone's been talking about until I went digging for them, as I simply never go that high in the forum hierarchy - I agree with Mr_Loon that the buttons should be on all pages.  Also, the video's not visible in the very front page (though I can still hear it, so presumably it's playing somewhere).  Running Seamonkey latest beta (2.17 beta 1 from memory, I think).
