Most of us have probably seen skywriting, but a new company has a twist to it, man made clouds in the form of corporate advertising that can look just like the logos. The "flogos" are made from a chemical surfactant and helium and can last for up to a half an hour.
..""Every major advertising company in the world has come to discuss their roster. Some Fortune 500 companies have been too and in Korea, artists have told us they want to use flogos to make a kind of sculpture. The response has been incredible."
ed.z.: and who will be the first to commission a bunch of big floating "fingers" over like rival sports teams cities or political conventions? And at what point will advertising ever say "enough, we've covered it all"? Sort of like lawmakers, no outside limit whatsoever, eventually over a billion laws. Once we make common contact with alien civilizations we'll be known as the "planet with all the signs" "Welcome to Adworld!" Next up, bringing back the blink tag for use in the floating ads. EEEk!
