Balloon Parachute Artwork

In My Humble Opinion--
Balloon parachutes should not be 'plain' They should have a design of some sorts. That being said, it doesn't apply in all cases. Some balloons need a plain parachute to go with the design of the rest of the balloon. But, (in my opinion) most balloons should have some sort of design. One of the most popular designs is the smiley face. In making home built balloons, a design on the parachute adds to the complexity. On purchased balloons, it adds to the cost. Therefore, it isn't always practical. But I still think it is neat. Even a simple deisgn of different gores different colors is better than just plain.
This web site is dedicated to show as many different balloon parachutes as I can find.
