Flogos Float Just Like Clouds
Just when you think you have seen it all something really unique comes along (at least new to me). I give you Flogos. This genius invention is the creation of Francisco Guerra and Dr. Brian Glover. Both gentlemen are known for making clouds on production sets, i.e. theater production in Orlando. However, they were not satisfied with just making any old cloud, they wanted to make clouds that were representative of certain shapes. Their new clouds formations have been named flogos. The name flogos comes from a combinding the words "flying" and "logos".
Referred to as snowflake-shapes flogos, these little puffs are a combination of air and helium. Air and helium makes tiny bubbles in which the foam is formed into various shapes. It is such an "eye" catcher that Guerra has been successful useing it for advertising; at one point boosting attendance for a restaurant promotion from a Saturday norm of 2,000 customers to a whopping 10,000 . These floating snowflakes are likely to be seen at restaurants, banks, to football games. They are seen in all 50 states and, Guerra has even released special "peace" shape clouds over Gaza Strip.
I am excited about what Flogos might have coming up in the near future. I hear rumors there might be color, 3-D and billboard setups.

INTERVIEW WITH FLOGOS CREATOR
Allentrepreneur - Startup Founders At The Forefront
Tell me a bit about yourself.
I'm a 39 year old inventor born in Cuba and immigrated to the States when I was 5. At a young age there was an inclination to magic; illusions fascinated me. In my early 20's I invented a process of making it snow. This new technology was called evaporative snow. I formulated my first special effect factory called SnowMasters.
What is your company about ?
For the past 15 years we've been designing special effects for the movie and special event industry. In our Northern Alabama R&D facility, we have been working on unusual new technologies.
How did the idea for Flogos come about ?

Flogo Fans
I am a fan of bubbles so I know I would personally like to see a Flogo. How about Casper the Ghost?
