The GEO® Balloon celebrates 25 years!
25 years ago, Pioneer Balloon Company was excited to launch a revolutionary new balloon called the GEO Donut®! It was invented by Ronald E. Prater, an inventor who lived by the "never say never" philosophy!
These awesome balloons have been used to create so many wonderful designs, here are a few of my favourites!
Fiona Fisher, CBA uses both the 6" & 16" Geo Blossoms® to create this fantastic Birthday "GEO Man".
By using a lovely selection of vibrant coloured GEO Blossom balloons, Fiona has created a design that is fun and very sellable!
Here is something very innovative and clever! Fiona has inverted 6" Geo Blossoms to create this stunning wedding design!
If you would like to learn this technique, check out a blog that I wrote called Inside-Out and Upside Down... the versatility of a Qualatex Geo Blossom!

The GEO balloon holds a very special place in my heart, as it was a 6" GEO Blossom that gave me my very first balloon competition win in 1995! Sadly, I don't have a picture of that design, as this was long before the world of digital photography. In honour of this very special balloon, I have created a little collection of characters to share with you!

A balloon with a hole through the centre, it turned many heads in amazement at the Chicago Party Show that it was first exhibited at. It gave the balloon world something completely new to work with and many exciting decor opportunities.

I also wanted to share with you this wonderful design idea using GEO Blossoms for a 70's Alien theme party! These adorable Dance-Floor Aliens were designed by Debbie O'Neill of WOW Balloons, Essex, UK. These free-standing movers brought a great deal of fun and attention to the dance floor!
Here are a few more designs using the GEO Donut and Geo Blossom balloons that feature on the Qualatex website.
If a balloon with a hole in it can wow us, imagine what your customers will think!

The 6" Geo Blossom Balloon works perfectly for this design! In the past I have always used a round balloon for the head, but I actually think that the GEO shape works really well! I can also see this design being used to make a snake too!
If you would like to learn how to make this design check out Sue's Recipes . I made this cute "Love Bug" Valentine's design that is made in the same way.
