'ARTWORK'

Note: Click on the highlighted pictures to see a larger view of the pictures.

Artwork can be used for different purposes, and can be accomplished in many different ways. Art can be a banner that carries a sponsors name. We believe banners should be form fitting, and look like it's part of the balloon. Art can be inlaid, overlaid, painted, done with a banner, or built in split panels, depending on when it's installed, and how much the owner wants to spend.

The Ford balloon just received a face lift with new art. "Built Ford Tough" has replaced Ford's old logo. New panels were installed with overlaid art. The envelope also received a new banner featuring Ford's web site.

The picture above left is a banner. The art has been sewn to the banner, and the pilot can remove the banner for rallies. The picture above right is his envelope. The art has been sewn directly on to the balloon, using artwork thread. The picture on the right is the finished product.

The Pepsi balloon was built using inlaid artwork. Each piece of the panel was cut individually, and the pieces were assembled, to make one panel. The panels were then sewn together. Load tapes were covered with fabric, to keep them from distracting from the art. The word PEPSI really jumps off the balloon during a night glow.

This banner was built for a commercial account. The panels were sewn together, velcro attached, and the banner was sent off to be painted.

The art for this balloon was painted on. The panels were built and sent to the painter. When finished, the section was added to the balloon, with load tapes being overlaid onto the area.

The curves balloon started life as a neon yellow balloon with red pennants. The new owner decided to advertise his business with his logo. The art is overlaid.

This banner was built for Casino Magic. They sponsored the balloon in several races in Louisiana and Texas.

The Bayer balloon was built with overlaid artwork. The owner later added banners, to cover all four sides with the logo. This balloon has split panels in two areas. The horizontal stripes near the bottom of the balloon consist on one panel, as do the diagonal stripes near the top. The panels were cut and sewn before the balloon was assembled.
