The name helium comes from the name for the Greek god of the sun, "Helios."
Helium is used to pressurize the fuel tanks of liquid fuel rockets and supersonic wind tunnels. Helium is commercially recovered from natural gas deposits, mostly from Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. Helium is used to inflate party balloons and blimps.
To represent helium, I used a zeppelin, a vehicle that floats using helium with the abbreviation "He" on its side. In the top left corner, the number 2 is the atomic number and the sun represents the origin of the name helium. Helium is lighter than air, so I chose vellum paper because it looks very light.
