Retina Display Icon for Yemeksepeti.com

yemeksepetiblog

Yemeksepeti.com is the first and biggest online food delivery portal of Turkey. Last year, they have gone through a design change and got a new logo as far as I know. The new website is easy to use and definitely designed with the best user experience in mind, no doubt about it.

I use them on a weekly basis and love accessing my favorite menus with a couple of clicks, but the time has changed and I am now using my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 to do all the work. So last month, I downloaded their iPhone application and could not help but noticed that its not optimized for retina display and their icon is at a lower resolution even for the iPad.

Last month I had to change my Apple ID password and found Apple ID website from Google.  I really loved what they have done with the “Create an Apple ID” button. The subtle shadow around the button creates a very elegant look. So I decided to give it a shot and made 7 colors of the same button.

You can see the buttons in action in my newly released WordPress Theme, Venture (http://venture.turkhitbox.com/buttons-boxes), available for sale on Themeforest.

You can download the Photoshop file and the coded buttons in seven different colors after the jump:

While designing WordPress Themes, I always find myself using Google Web Fonts and integrating them into my themes’ option panels. They are easy to use, cost nothing and growing in number everyday.

However, after a while it was hard for me to keep up with Google Web Fonts updates, so I decided to download all of them at once. It was quite a hassle downloading every one of them, but here they are, available for you to download:
