The next time you look up at the sky and see a cloud that looks likeMickey Mouse or your favorite fruit，look again. It may not be a cloud，but a Flogo—a logo that flies. It'sa new form of advertising in the sky that's never been used before. It's adifferent way to market your products, logos, and events.

These funny logos are made with soap bubbles (肥皂泡) mixedwith a little helium gas (氦气), which makes them lighter than air and float inthe sky. Special machines are used to make these new funny Flogos. The machine,which can be rented for $ 2,500 a day, can make a Flogo every 15-25 seconds.

Flogos can fly much higher or lower if needed. They can last from a fewminutes to an hour anywhere in the sky, depending on the weather conditions. Thoughthey can fly up to 20,000 feet, they usually float around at 300-500 feet. Flogosare only white now, but people hope to have more colorful Flogos in the nearfuture.
