For Giggles (It’s Friday after all)

It seems to be the popular, in vogue branding fad right now. I’ve seen Foursquare do it. I’ve seen the HipChat guys sport theirs. So I figured why not join in the Japan-o-philia fun and make a Japanese version of the Crittercism logo. Think of it as a hopeful global expansion goal. I mean, hey, we’re already working on internationalizing the library so why not. Plus it’s mad fun playing with new characters.

ALSO it was Rob’s and Andrew’s birthdays this past week. Two co-founders with birthdays a day apart? It was a match made in heaven. Clearly.

(Aww, look at em nerding out during our AngelPad days)

Things are a-hopping at what we now fondly call Critter Labs. If you’d like to come by and help us test new features, give us a shout.
