Kindle, Nook (and more) Ordering Buttons… We’re Sharing!

We launched something very very cool today. Shockingly, online bookstores did not have buttons like these for use — not even kindle or nook. (I know, right?!) Eloisa James if the first of our authors to launch our new order structures (this is only phase one — more to come!). As soon as we started designing these for Eloisa, Julia Quinn and Stephanie Tyler said, “Me, too, please,” and several more eagerly followed suit getting their request into our queue. Unlike most design work where the copyright is held by the designer, we designed these for the public domain. Go ahead. Lift them (copy to your own server, of course, but please keep “waxcreative” in the file name.). All we ask is that you credit us somehow — on your site credits page, in the code… somewhere. Thanks.

And for UK editions:

And finally, we created a couple of publisher icons because they didn’t have their own:

Waxcreative's Harper Collins Icon Waxcreative's Mills & Boon Icon Waxcreative's eHarlequin Icon

And we made these, too, for GoodReads and LibraryThing: Waxcreative's GoodReads Icon Waxcreative's LibraryThing Icon Please tell us if you use these, or if you see them — leave urls in the comments. We’d love to watch some Wax get spread around. Enjoy!

 

Update Sept 2012  - Even more ordering buttons!

    These are fantastic. Thanks so much for offering these in the public domain. I noticed since this post was created that a Books-a-Million icon was also created. Is it OK to use that one as well (with the same attributions, of course)?

  16. [...] I must spread the word as to where I got the nifty icons. They were free from the WaxCreative Blog, but they really wanted a shout out if they get used. They are pretty great, so I’m happy to [...]
