HAHA plankton! Those crabby patties they were looking for were not found!

Loving some of these. Yet another great post!

Is mine too lame for the list? http://www.berganblue.com.au/404

Probably!

Rgds,

amazing collection

Very cool collection. We just created one for our website too: http://www.koodoz.com.au/404

I like it 404s look better with humor for sure

You should try http://www.rareview.com, made me laugh first time I typed a page name wrong

Try: http://www.autotest.de/asdqweasd

Wow beautiful collection, I like Ninja and Loosing bird

I created mine a while ago: http://www.loriskumo.com/404

Obviously it looks like GOG.com…

Very nice!!

Great collection! I’m impressed.

Great collection. Fryewiles is my fav.rite. Oops I’ve lost one…. The ones from comments are pretty cool to guys.

Hi I work inhouse for an insurance broker (boring… boring…. but we made a hilarious 404 (Dutch…)

Try: http://www.klap.com/error

greetz…

Ninja one clearly is the king here.

http://www.station.ch/404

Some cracking examples there, scythe.net and istockphoto.com are good ones. Check out the 404 page on my blog… http://trubru.co.uk/404

very nice collection, but some 404-pages are “too busy to be 404-page” – it have to be simple ^)

HAHAHA… very nice Collection

http://www.tportal.hr/showme404

I was completely blown away, very nice designs.

This article just makes me so jelious at how good these error pages can be, my favourite is probably homer from the simpsons, classic line for a wrong error page, but saying that, there all good in their own way. Actually motivates me to change things round on my own error pages now.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Awesome collection!! It will definitely help to create interesting 404 error pages. In fact this page is mandatory for every web site as it helps you to communicate with your visitors when they have landed on error pages and bring them back to the home page. But don’t you think that things are going funny for just a 404 document!!

Nice collection. I’m going to have to pretty mine up now. Thanks for the inspiration.

Great List! Thanks!

Some great stuff here.

Thanks for the list!

haha… I love the “ninja 404″
“when the moon has friends and the fox is borrowed?” <– I was like, what the ??

I was allowed to do one for this company… http://www.devonlocks.com/404.html

Nice collection. I think mine can be add ^^
http://www.akashrine.fr/404

Great collection! I love the killer octopus, the dead fly, the golfer and the upside-down “Whoa that’s weird”… not often you say all that in one sentence!
I love creative 404 pages. On mine I went for a Haiku:
http://vividcopy.co.uk/404

What about this one I made – http://www.turningtechnologies.co.uk/404/index.html

Meant this one – http://turningtechnologies.co.uk/404/404.html

What a collection, must of taken ages to gather. Some great examples of 404′s. Makes me want to do one.

Loved the ninja 404′s; it says a lot about attention to detail to see companies that design their own 404′s

http://www.moto-gallery.com/404

cool list This is one I did too lol

http://jayelgibson.com/index.php/404/

Enjoyed that one

I like this one too:
http://definedesign.sg/404.htm

nice collection
thanks

Hi,

Very nice 404 pages

Here is few more really funny : http://infos-actus.blogspot.com/2008/10/les-100-pages-404-not-found-les-plus.html

Bye

These are pretty good. I have one:

http://www.chris-wallace.com/404

It seems ninjas are responsible for a lot of 404 on the internets.

error pages are fun

Fun 404 pages are great! I spend a lot of time on them, as they can turn accidental users into instant fans.

Mine: http://blog.suredev.com/oh-noooooo

http://sinisterbunny.com/SITES/

Just an FYI for you. That iStockphoto 503 page is old. You can see their new 404 page here (that I designed)…

http://www.istockphoto.com/404x

Mine isn’t what I’d call inspiring, http://www.iamkeith.com/404

Brilliant collection. Love the ninja one. Thanks for sharing

cool, 404 page with nice illustration
when i can get them one?

love the Plankton one

It’s a good idea to add cartoon characters and stuff to 404 pages because it makes a user think ‘I didn’t find the page, but at least I got a little laugh out of it’.

I never even considered that I could do a creative 404 page.

Of course the only one of these sites i clicked on was the “You got 404′d”
And, why wouldnt i have my speakers plugged in and set on a rather high volume?

How does one leave out Homestar Runner?
http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail999.html

Wow, I like these, especially the bird one lol.

Blue Bird: Where’d it go? O_O
Grey Bird: Where’d what go? T_T

lol, especially the expression on the face, my favorite .

Very cool collection. We just created one for our website too:
http://elfpix.ru/tyty/404
http://ifolderlinks.ru/404/

Adding sound is a nice touch to the 404 error page.
Very nice collection.

Awsome, and very inspiering!

This is a pretty funny one – http://www.southparkstudios.com/368934

Very cool Idea. Now I’m thinking about my own 404 Page. What can i do, hm?

Great list! My favorite is the one from Frye / Wiles.

Here are 2 more that always crack me up:
http://fab404.com/the-brand-surgery
http://fab404.com/weebls-stuff

Fantastic collection.Really nice! Thanks!!!!!

Haha, funny! Really great idea. I think, I`ll create my 404page.

Great collection! I specially liked the one with Death (PS See you soon). LoL! Here’s mine: http://www.supremestrategy.com/404/

These are great! Inspired me to create my own: http://www.mcdowellcrook.com/sfsdfsdf

Very nice collection. Here’s my Idiocracy-inspired 404 page… http://cdharrison.com/404 If you have any comments or suggestions on how I might make it better, I’m all ears.

hi all,

images (the 50 screenshots) dont appear in my MS IE 7.0 browser AND Maxthon 2.51.
no problem with firefox 3.5.
no problem with opera 9.54.

It is not acceptable that high level webdesigners cannot build compatible code!!!

This has been corrected…

http://proworkflow.com/abc.cfm – That’s our 404 page!
We have a real ‘orange’ theme going here

“Perhaps you are here because: You like 404 pages.” Loved that one!

Cool comic strip and great humor!

Loved this list, your posts are so original and refreshing, WDD is like a fountain of inspiration. I liked the humorous content in this one. And yes, that Ninja one is just right on!

Awesome collection of 404s

Those never get old, and only better!

Where is mine?
See our design of 404 page “You are here!” at:
http://antzfx.com/i_love_pizza

Nice compilation of 404 error pages. This has inspired me to do a redesign of my own.

You have missed this one:

http://www.vision.to/404.php

Great collection! 404 pages can be a really good way for designers to showcase their sense of humor and creativity!

Very nice!!

Lovely bunch!

I like this one:
http://www.intermix.nl/404/

Wow, great collection. My favourite ist the error-page of gog.com (7th)

Fantastic collection

Thanks

Nice collection!

http://www.gpprod.com.ar/404

Thanks!

I’ve had mine– http://misty-blue.net/404 for years. Seeing all these reminds me that it’s in need of some sprucing up.

Nice collection.
I submit mine http://www.pngised.net/404-page-not-found/

Great! It will be inspirative!
Thanks!

Nice!!! I like them all!!
But I love the one submited by Federico Pizzutto, smart!!!

Studio7Designs has the most professional 404 page, in my opinion. The average web user doesn’t know what 404 means so its wise of them to have left it off the page completely, unlike most others.

The huwshimi.com ninja stolen page is also a favorite.

thank you

Excellent 404 pages.

hi,

Cool 404 pages. Very nice themes and really professional look and feel.

Keep em coming

Genial!!!

Muy buena recopilación de ‘page error 404′

Excellent websites. Look very professional. Thanks for sharing.

And what about this one?

http://komosa.brinkster.net/comatoseblog/

Check out my 404 page
http://toshiyaki.com/notfound.php

Very cool and inspiring stuff. Though I wonder, while so many are being so creative, why more people didn’t think about giving the visitors other options than just “we’re sorry bla bla bla”. Some of the 404 pages seem to ahve understood, but an optimal 404 page should in my humble opinion consist og alternative links and suggestions as well as a search box for the visitors. There’s no point in loosing the visitor, just because they came across a 404 page.

Hey, you guys missed one:
http://homestarrunner.com/404
It’s not mine, but I think it’s really funny.

That’s my favorite, right there.

I love this one from the comic MindMistress
http://mindmistress.comicgenesis.com/miss123.htm
Anytime you go to a page without a comic yet, this pops up.

¡Asombrosas! Estas páginas son mi perdición, mato el rato en su búsqueda. A mí me gusta esta: http://jaymegutierrez.com/sdfasdsf

Great ideas. I want to show you one more moinid of page 404 design, my design http://www.kontain.com/bickov/entries/36756/page-404/

Here is another one from 5pm website:

http://www.5pmweb.com/404.html

Some of these are hilarious. I’m sitting in a coffee shop and had to laugh out loud a few times. Plankton, seriously funny. And the skull and cross-bones just freaked me out. I mean, seriously, that would flip me out if I unknowingly went to a page and saw that – I would do a antivirus check ASAP! Thanks for the great posts.

Beautiful set of erro 404 pages. Check one more interesting page 404 idea http://www.kontain.com/bickov/entries/36756/page-404/
