Not sure what to title these buttons (if anyone can think of a title please suggest). They look awfully defaultish to me but I'll see what comments are said before I finally finish them off and release them. (Preview Below)

I think they're great. I'd like to see the text one size larger. But otherwise, very nice.
I would suggest making the multiquote_on and multiquote_off buttons, tho.

Tried resizing the text and the font looked to big and clumsy so opted for the the smaller text. I'll be adding the multi-quote buttons a little later (just haven't got around to doing them yet).
This is the latest preview (below). If you notice that the quotes now have a little more perspective instead of the flat faced down variant. What I plan is the quote icon will be flat and the selected multi-quote will have that perspective view so it gives the impression of a slight animation when it's implemented as the multi-quote buttons.
Like I said, This is the latest preview and I've made a few changes since this last preview.

ahh so the one quote button will serve in both the quote and multi-quote capacity?
interesting

Haven't decided yet. I'm now on the verge of designing them and rather than making colour changes to distinguish the multi-quote + & - I thought about doing a image change and giving the feeling of the icons animating (even though they are not) it's similiar to a rollover effect or so to speak.
Anyhow, I've finished the rest of the buttons (with only the multi-quote to finish).

Maybe, just maybe, you would like to try another font besides ms comic sans, I mainly suggest it because a pet peeve I have against that font, I really, really, REALLY dislike it. Other than that I think they look very nice.

I could try some fonts but I want to wait untill I get into work tomorrow as they have a wide range of fonts which the company I work for purchased so I'll grab them and try a few of them out.
I kinda liked the comic sans font but I'm sure many people don't. I guess it's down to user preference and there's a fine line between someone liking/disliking a font or anything else on an image for that matter.
Thanks for the suggestion Hell³.
