纯CSS实现的3D简洁按钮设计

基本HTML 

<nav>
      
  <ul class="nav">
       
    <li><a href="#" class="icon-home"></a></li>

    <li><a href="#" class="icon-cog"></a></li>

    <li><a href="#" class="icon-cw"></a></li>

    <li><a href="#" class="icon-location"></a></li>

  </ul>
 </nav>

图标字体CSS

@font-face {
  font-family: 'fontello';
  src: url('../fonts/fontello.eot');
  src: url('../fonts/fontello.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
       url('../fonts/fontello.woff') format('woff'),
       url('../fonts/fontello.ttf') format('truetype'),
       url('../fonts/fontello.svg#fontello') format('svg');
  font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;
}
[class*=" icon-"] {
  font-family: 'fontello';
  font-style: normal;
  font-size: 3em;
  speak: none;
}
.icon-home:after     { content: "\2302"; } 
.icon-cog:after      { content: "\2699"; } 
.icon-cw:after       { content: "\27f3"; } 
.icon-location:after { content: "\e724"; }

按钮CSS

.nav {   
list-style: none; 
  text-align: center; 
} 
 .nav li {   
position: relative;   
display: inline-block;   
margin-right: -4px; 
}

3D效果CSS，使用了box-shadow：

.nav a {   
display: block;   
background-color: #f7f7f7;   
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#f7f7f7), to(#e7e7e7));   
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #f7f7f7, #e7e7e7);    
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #f7f7f7, #e7e7e7); 
   background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #f7f7f7, #e7e7e7);    
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #f7f7f7, #e7e7e7);    color: #a7a7a7;   
margin: 36px;   width: 144px;   
height: 144px;   
position: relative;   
text-align: center; 
  line-height: 144px; 
  border-radius: 50%;   
box-shadow: 0px 3px 8px #aaa, inset 0px 2px 3px #fff; 
}

最后生成按钮的样式，使用:hover

.nav a:hover{
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #555;
  background: #f5f5f5;
}
