Thanks guys, I just had an idea that bold text in negative colour from a black and white image might work quite well. And why not try it with something BoC related.

Whenever I hear the title "Everything you do is a balloon" all I can think of is one of BoC getting upset at Richard Branson appearing on the telly (again) and shouting.

Why's that?

And does anyone have an idea what "Everything you do is a balloon" is suppose to mean? I thought I heard somewhere that it was a concept one of them had while walking in the forest...

Sounds like acid talk, im sure a lot of people on this fourm understand acid talk, words take on whole new levels of meaning and metaphor.

Well, there was a period in the 80s/90s when Branson was always on the telly being smug and trying to fly a balloon across the atlantic or something. I can just imagine someone saying "Man, get off my telly with your balloons, everything you do is a balloon"

I imagine it's probably nothing to do with that but once the image got into my head it kind of stayed there.
