  I have to say that however clever some of these may be, it is better to set up redirects for pages that no longer exist.
  I would also say that some of these people can get into a lot of trouble by using licensed character art on their websites (ie, Homer Simpson, Plankton, etc) unless they have a licensing agreement with the respective production companies. I highly doubt they do, and even if they did, those licensors need to approve any artwork before it would be used in the intended manner. So, just a heads up for anyone thinking about doing something like that…you could get a lawsuit slapped on you, in particular if your website produces income for you.
  On top of that, simply plopping an image of Homer Simpson on a 404 page doesn’t make it creative.
  I also do not understand why web designers continue to put the text “404″ on a 404 page? The average web user has no idea what any web error codes mean, or that that even is a web error code. It is completely unnecessary.

  How many times have we seen this post around the design circles?

  And I love how the two 404 pages with Homer Simpson are right next to each other in the “Unique” 404 pages post.

  Cool designs, sad excuse for an article.

  of course you have a point, with such huge competition it’s really hard to offer something fresh, unseen and original! We try our best though and hope you still recognize many good examples making this post valuable.

  Nice, clean, and simple. I like it.

  A suggestion though, if I may.. Rather than letting defunct links hit your 404 page, and linking from there to the old version of your site, you would probably be better off setting up 301s to redirect to the new working url.

  I can’t remember the site, but they had a great 404 page that had a picture of a cat being attacked by servers. If someone remembers, let me know.

  “Oh snaaaap!”
  those kind of reviews are good things to make the people more concerned about to create a personalized 404 error page.
  I really like the 404 pages heheheh

  My site runs a search automatically on the keywords in the url or from your google/yahoo/etc search that led to landing on a non-working page. It also includes the search box, so you could enter in a different search term.

  It will also auto-redirect to a working page, if the auto search that runs on a 404 error only returns a single result.

  Of course it’s mostly useless at the moment since my site as it exists currently has virtually no content, but when I eventually get around to blogging it will be useful. :)

  I’ve found Nokia’s 404 recently, which is not a great design, but a nice example for connecting from an 404 error to some marketing msg: http://www.nokia.com/404

  It must be quite new, as free navigation is something that was announced recently.

  I love these. Many I have seen already, but a few are new. Good list overall. I employed a little humor in some block pages here at my day job. A little creativity and wit goes a long way in what could normally be considered boring pages.
