#LDI2010: Rosco Celebrates 100 Years and Announces Two New Products

2010 Marks the 100th anniversary of Rosco Labs.  HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ROSCO!  Congratulations on 100 years, here is to hundreds and hundreds more!  At LDI 2010, Rosco had 100 years of history of the company on display.  WOW, there were some pretty interesting facts and old products and swatch books on display. Joel Svendsen of Rosco has a great post on the recently launched Rosco Spectrum Blog about some of the History of Rosco and were the labs part of the name came into play.

Rosco’s New York Sale Rep, Chad Tiller was kind enough to do yet another on camera appearance for me to go over some of the history of Rosco and some of the latest technology and products that Rosco is continuing to develop.  Take a look at the video and then head over to www.rosco.com to learn more. Thanks Chad for being a great sport, you’re awesome man!

Rosco’s 12 New E-Colour Gels

Rosco Labs recently announced the arrival of 12 new colors of gel to their E-Colour line up.  To help celebrate and get the new gels into users hands, Rosco Labs gave out 12 packets of the new gel colors in 6″ x 6″ sheets for people to test and see how they like them.  I was lucky enough to be one of the 12 people to re-tweet and receive one of those said packets.  Here is a line up of the new colors, the listing corresponds to the gel spread pictured above from left to right.

• E5084 – Damson Violet
• E5085 – French Lilac
• E5202 – Max Blue
• E5211 – Ice Blue
• E5264 – Venetian Blue
• E5287 – Fuji Blue
• E5336 – Aztec Gold
• E5404 – Wisteria
• E5454 – Olympia Green
• E5455 – Tarragon
• E5461 – Grotto Green
• E5463 – Prussian Green

As an added bonus, I am passing along the gel pack to an iSquint reader.  All I ask is that you test and play with the colors and let Rosco Labs and myself know what you think of the new gel colors. How do you win said packet? Easy, tweet the following message on twitter: “@Rosco_Labs I love the smell of gel in the morning“. First one to tweet that wins, that simple.
