In the world of design, simple and effective is good. The heart shape is such a solid expression of love, yet on a cold night it also provides warmth for those in need.
Made from a simple stainless steel tube, make any shape you like and drill holes to produce flame in any direction.
The Entertainment Engineer (my term) I spoke with explained that the basis of the graphic display was a Japanese Python algorithm.
A single projector was used to light up multiple surfaces at the same time: the massive water tank in the distance and the support artwork for a near-frame propane display.
A couple things to notice, first is the simple and obvious interface for controlling the start-stop time for multiple entertainment devices, and second is safety. Note the distance between the fuel source and the flammable devices. In most cases the fuel lines are buried.

A simple 55 gallon barrel and torch, boom, done! Perhaps I should not say boom.
I can’t speak to any previous issues, but this seems to be very well thought out. These devices continue to operate well in a hot, windy and dusty environment.
Personal flame thrower.
I love this shot. You can see that the operator and fuel source is a good distance away from the flame. Each button press (to music) releases flames to the sky.
Finally, go old-school with a pair of campfire baskets on a large wheel. I was amazed at how many people were willing to mechanically turn the crank in the direct path of of the sparks.
