Hey abhimanyu,
i think http://www.cooltext.com is also one of the best site for button.
well cooltext is not very web 2.0 you see
though CT is the oldest logo creation site imo, sad that they didn’t changed the logo offerings much
Abhimanyu,
Good to know you. Thanks for sharing these. I want to create some buttons and use it on my blog.
I think FavIconCreator is the best in this list.
