Sudsy Logos Take To The Sky

The icons in the picture above are not the gods coming down decisively on the side of corporate America, although that would fit in neatly with many Republican talking points. They're Flogos, soap bubble formations filled with helium that float your logo around like a balloon, and the next step in the pollution of the natural world with insidious corporate advertising. They can be made 2, 3 or 4 feet wide by a modified artificial snow machine at a rate of 4 per minute, with colored versions available sometime next year. The machines cost $2500 a day to rent but that's a small price to pay to float your product across the world's largest billboard. At this point I predict that we're only a couple of decades away from seeing a massive set of golden arches burned directly into the surface of the moon.
