Apollo Design Announces iGobo App for iPhone/iPad/iPod

I spent a bit of time talking to one of my favorite people from Apollo at LDI, Melissa Irk. Melissa mentioned to me that Apollo Design just released it’s iGobo App for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Now you can browse all of Apollo’s stock gobo’s in one place, well, actually two places, the iGobo App and the Moire Gobo App from Wybron. The difference being that the iGobo App is a FREE download.

Here is a bit more about the iGobo App:

Apollo’s iGobo allows everyone involved in the art of lighting design to conveniently view full screen images of the company’s extensive library of standard metal and glass patterns. The Apollo iGobo feature list includes:

  • 2000+ metal, SuperResolution glass,1-color glass, 2-color glass, and ColourScenic gobo designs
  • Search the gobo library by name, number, or keywords
  • Compare up to four gobos at a time on the screen
  • Rotate an image at variable speeds, either clockwise or counterclockwise
  • Stack two images and rotate the bottom image in either direction
  • Maintain a favorites list
  • Email a single gobo or your complete favorites list
  • More features to come on future versions

Fire up your iTunes App store and download your free copy of iGobo from Apollo Design. Be sure to connect to a WiFi access point when trying to “purchase” and download the iGobo App.  At 105mb, AT&T will not let you download it over their data network.

Vote on Apollo Design’s Design-A-Pattern Contest

It’s time!  Apollo Design recently opened up voting on their 3rd Annual Design-A-Pattern Contest.  Apollo has broken the designs into four categories.

  • ColorScenic
  • Metal
  • SuperResolution
  • 2 Color

Each year, more and more people send in entries to be voted on for the contest.  This year is no exception.  There are some excellent designs this year in all four of the categories.  Of course, with my busy schedule, I missed the entry deadline once again.  Maybe next year I’ll actually get it done in time.

The rules are easy, only one vote is allowed per IP address per category.  Voting on the pattern’s began yesterday, May 5th and continue till June 2nd, 2010. Winning entries will be notified by Apollo Design on June 30th, 2010.  Winning entries get their name on the pattern, A commemorative plaque that includes the pattern, inclusion in Apollo’s 2011 catalog and on Apollo’s online catalog and industry press.

Now here is Apollo going above and beyond… Apollo will donate a portion of each pattern sold between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011 to the industry charity, Behind the Scenes! What are you waiting for… VOTE NOW!

Gobo Who? GoboMan

Do You know Goboman? If not, you should!  I have known about Goboman for sometime now and have yet to try their gobos.  After seeing their gobos in person at USITT and Goboman lowering their price of stock metal gobos from $7.95 to $6.95, they are making it even harder for me NOT to consider buying from them!

Goboman offers over 250 stock metal gobo’s in either B or A size in stock and ready to ship.  They offer a cross reference guide from some of the other leading gobo manufacturers out there. Goboman even offers custom metal gobo’s at $69.95 for each original and $29.95 for duplicates all available within a 48 hour turn around time.

Goboman also offer some of the standard gel colors in sheets and rolls along with Black Foil.  Give Goboman’s online catalog a look and let me know what you think. And yes, Goboman is the place where I picked up a pair of gobo earrings for my wife at USITT for only $10.  If you are interested in a pair of your own, contact Goboman for a listing of Gobo Earring Designs they offer.
