i don't know where my creativity had gone and I am in need of somebody else's help.
take a look at this site:
- this is the way the home page is now.
what i need to do is create a "new from orbus" button.
my attempts can be viewd at:

with 1 I was trying to bring some color into the page outside of the current color scheme, but no matter what I have tried - I never liked how things looked. do you have a suggestion?
2 - is the same idea as 1, but with a color from the page's color scheme. i am not sure wether I like it any or not - I am afraid it is too blurry and hard on the eyes.
3 - is an attempt to continue with the page's theme, but I truly think it doesn't work at all, since I am already specifying a dimension/perspective for the page with the pre-existing shadows/lighting effects from the "order today" button, which the third look is the exact opposite of.
4 - is another try with the same theme. I like it much better then number 3 and consider putting the text into one line. My problem with it? it IS the same theme, and I think I need something more different and exciting.
5 - generally nice, but boring.

The images are not tweaked to perfetion (like for example, I am not sure wether to have or not to have the bevel effect on the text), but I believe it will depend on a design I choose for that button.

Please help me! I am out of ideas! --------------------------------------------------

I like #4. I think I would introduce a new color to the curved sides if this needs to be an attention getter. Perhaps a color that matches one of the products below as to not be way out of place. DeZiner
Never be afraid to try something new.

I like #2 and #5. I like the color scheme and think that either one of these would work well with it.
 
I would use the exact same as ORDER TODAY! I like it.

Just what i think anyway...


Hope it'll help ;-) Have Fun...

I think 3 or 4, maybe 3 but open it up a little so its like a mirror of Order Today.
Lovely page!

guys,
thanks everybody for the opinions.
i really think that the buttons should not be the same. I did like my "order now' button, but at the time it was created it was the only one on the page and I absolutely did not realse that it will be such a pain to add another button to that page, so .. I have changed the concept a little - to change the look a bit instead trying to make verything work around the current button. what do you think of --------------------------------------------------

I like it, it is much cleaner looking. Nice job!
