Will asked me to put together some CastRoller Personas for FireFox; so I made two.
The first is the familiar green bubbles you’ll see across a variety of our products and collateral.

The second is a toned down blue version for those who feel the green is a little too much for daily use.

Hope you enjoy them, feel free to let me know your thoughts.

Coming up in just over a month is one of the biggest events in podcasting, PodCamp Toronto 2010. It takes place Feb 20 & 21, 2010 at Ryerson University in downtown Toronto. It always is an excellent event, and all of the CastRoller team will be attendance.
