Coast to Coast Foamy Skies

From the Sugar White Beaches of the Gulf to the Beige Desert Sands in Nevada, the Sky is No Longer the Limit with "Cloud-Like" Advertising
By: Roy Batson
 
May 25, 2010 - PRLog -- Lexington, AL USA - America’s skies aren’t just filled with banner streamed aircraft advertising, signage loaded blimps or smoke writing skilled pilots as the West to East Coast sand-to-sand “FROM THE GROUND UP” sky-vertising competition takes off (literally). The latest trend in sky-vertising was seen on both coasts recently when Flogos®,“flying logos”, took off. These cloud-like symbols, words and logos are a product of SnowMasters Special Effects.

Observed on the West Coast was a launch into the crystal blue skies at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada. This revolutionary marketing trend to hit the United States establishes a niche as the unique and eye-catching marketing message; Flogos®, has taken flight in the molded and sculpted floating “cloud” form. Over the skies of Las Vegas, the symbols of a dollar sign, launched at the casinos’ entrance for the Maloof Money Cup launch party on May 7, 2010. Simultaneously, on the East Coast, in the Gulf Coast region, over 30,000 spectators saw for the first time these proprietary surfactant (soap) based foam formulation helium injected lighter-than-air Flogos®. These floating billboards were made into the shape of the event’s trademark logo, of a thumb and pinky up hand sign, for THE HANGOUT; a weekend long music and art festival featuring over 80 musical performance acts by various national and international musicians and performers.

Flogos® are rapidly reaching for the skies all over the world representing numerous Fortune 500 companies, baseball franchises, football teams, Hollywood film productions, hockey teams, top shopping districts and stores, car dealerships, and more. Conceived in Northern Alabama and recently expanded to Los Angeles, California, they are making a big impact here in the U.S. in the advertising market; especially when businesses and attractions are looking for that special WOW! factor to draw attention to their products or services. Witness for yourself the impact and magical draw to an event that these “clouds” have during the Flogos® launch at the Maloof Money Cup, where top amateur skateboarders compete in New York June 5-6, 2010 at the newly constructed skate plaza in Flushing Meadows Corona.

Flogos®, is a registered trademarked name and product, its name derived from the words “flying and logos”. This protected patented product of SnowMasters Special Effects, was invented by Francisco Guerra, company owner, is being offered to individuals and corporations who want to maximize their advertising campaigns or who are strictly looking for that next unique niche that’s raising the bar in reaching new heights in advertising for that WOW! factor. Your design, your shape, your brand, your logo, symbol or word in the skies can be the 5,000 foot high attention getter you’re looking for. Flogos® will make your next event or occasion unforgettable!

Unlike other forms of sky-vertising, such as banner ads, blimp advertising and smoke writers where you’re limited on standing time and consumers know these advertising tactics, SnowMasters offers a new and innovative form of advertising that’s never been used before and at very competitive rate. Flogos® will be visible for a few minutes to an hour since it’s a slow foam “cloud” float into the skies. While Flogos® can soar 1 to 30 miles, and can float as high as 5,000 feet, though this will greatly depend on weather conditions and wind speed.

The Flogo® “clouds” are environmentally and ecologically friendly – Green and safe for air travel. Flogos® have minimal mass and are made of 99% air; they do not fall under the jurisdiction of the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA). They also leave no residual effects, not even on a camera lens and can bounce off buildings and remain intact.

The time to create your custom Flogo® stencil for your custom shape is minimal and can be made the same day of your request but an advanced 10 day order is preferred, because of getting the equipment to the location by trailer and set-up with trained and licensed technicians for flight launch day. These custom Flogos®, “cloud” foam shapes come in 24, 36 or 48 inches long in size. In addition, Flogos® can be custom sized to 72 inches long in various designs and shapes, including most if not all logos, symbols and words can be created, and are offered in white “cloud” color. For an additional fee, Flogos® can be created in a limited array of colors, meanwhile a small team at SnowMasters’ research and development facility in Lexington, Alabama are continuing to develop new colors and ideas for Flogos®, such as a glowing agent for “glow in the dark” Flogos® and even possibly in the future, scented Flogos®. The sky is no longer the limit!

“They will fly for miles,” CEO, founder and international special effects inventor, Francisco Guerra said. “They are durable so they last a while.”  “The secret is our formulation and equipment. We’re able to keep the “cloud” foam shape together for a long time.” He said, “the Flogo® “clouds” can hover at various heights, depending on the amount of helium and oxygen mixed into the formula. As a norm, they’ll fly about 300 to 500 feet high,” Guerra said. “They can soar much higher or lower, if needed,” he stated.

Be seen. Be unique. Be WOW’ed with Flogos®, a new innovative form in sky-vertising! While clients are only able to rent the equipment (for 24" machine specs see http://www.flogos.net/flogo24-specs.pdf) for Flogos® from SnowMasters Special Effects, in the near future it will just make sense with the high demand for SnowMasters to offer them for purchase for their clients. “This is coming.”, Guerra said, "patent protected".
