I just added a new feature to a site last night, and added a link on the front page with a flashy "NEW" [absak.com] graphic next to it... italic bold red letters with a yellow 'flash' behind them. The rest of the page (and site) are fairly subdued, graphically, so the tacky little "NEW" graphic stands out.

"Kinda cheesy" I thought, but when I check the stats this morning, the new page is one of the top 5 most requested files for the last 12 hours...

Anyone else notice this startling sort of effect when using relatively tasteless graphic accents? What sort of images have you found are most effective?
