Courtesy of Paypal I now have some bright new Paypal buttons to attract visitors with. Take a look at the difference (which you can see in context on my purchasing page for Bingo Card Creator).
We replaced this frumpy old standby:
with this larger, more descriptive, and infinitely cooler looking button:
Now, personally, I kind of liked having the credit card icon logos above and slightly dominating the call to action but, hey, this is what CrazyEgg was made for. (Yep, I have my test set up and ready to go.)
I also replaced the old Paypal logo:
with the new one:
Again, larger, bolder, more descriptive. (It also matches the colors of my site, which is a happy coincidence.)
Finally, since I couldn’t bear to leave Google out in the cold, I updated their image as well. Its a little smaller than the Paypal image, and I would fix that except the brand-building wizards prohibit me from doing so in the license for their image. Thanks a lot, guys, I’m only trying to make you money…

This new buy-with-paypal icon is great, but can I use it on my own website?
Is it copyrighted or something?
It is indeed copyrighted, but Paypal (who owns the copyright) encourages you to use it on your website.
