  1. Very inspiring list!!I believe that reuteurs menu is the most impressive!! Thank you for sharing!

  2. Awesome! Cool to see my local Seattle Sounders get featured on here! You hit it right on the head: Navigation menus are of incredible importance to website design. Many designers overlook or ignore this aspect, and i feel it is because many individuals needing sites aren’t aware of the power and influence a great/clean navigation menu can have. Thanks for the post!

    Some weak examples, but a ton of very good ones. You can add espn.com’s latest to the list of mega nav drop downs.

  11. Zambito says:

    Great post, thanks for sharing. There is definitely a place for the mega menu in modern web design.

  12. Kayden says:

    Love all these mega-drops!

    Anyone else notice that Archer Group uses Archer as their typeface on the menus?

  13. Great collection and great job resourcing, I particularly like the fact that these examples include visual as well as textual elements in these drop down menus. The Samsung drop down menu in my opinion is a great example of both textual and visual elements and from a usability perspective, also I like the samsung menu as it does not drop down so much as to intrude on the existing web page and functions quite effectively in the horizontal mode. Over all a great collection and I have book marked this one.

  14. These are great examples of menus and how they serve different purposes. Thanks for sharing.

  15. Kim Green says:

    Dumb question: Is it legal to show screen captures from other sites? I’m not trying to give anyone a hard time. I want to be sure it’s okay because I want to do it.

    This is a very effective post because it shows real examples.
