I'd also like to add my two cents and say that the "Google" logo
button looks nice, but is not intiutive from a UI perspective.

Because of the lack of edges and other canonical button-like
decoration, it is not immediately obivious that it IS a button.  It
could just be a logo (e.g. "Search Powered by Google").  I'd suggest
either modifying the image to contain some additional button "look and
feel" or just keeping with a plain old, less sexy text button.
