Atomic Twinkie

In September we purchased a 1965 Avion H-24 travel trailer.  Our friends Kirk & Beth own a 1964 Avion H-24.  While camping in August I said if I ever owned one I'd be tempted to give it a logo, replicating the nose art from World War II.  So, this was in my mind after we purchased the Avion.  (Read about that purchase here.)

Then, in November I joined Sisters on the Fly.  One of the things they ask is if your trailer has a name.  Hmmm, nope.  I needed one.  I kept thinking about it and finally landed on Atomic Twinkie.  It combines our love for Mid Century Modern style and the trailer just kinda looks like a giant Twinkie.  Now, with a name, I need a graphic.

So I started searching the internet for nifty pin-up art women I could integrate into a logo for the trailer.  I came up with a bunch of different designs, getting input from my friends from the Loyal Order of the Glampers Facebook group.  I kept playing with fonts, images, etc. but nothing seemed quite right.

Then I stumbled across Hilda, the work of artist Duane Bryers, and started to play with her image as well.

This lady hit the mark.  Maybe a little too close to home, but I think I have the winner.  She's wearing a pair of Vroomers sliver trailer slippers and enjoying a good laugh.  So, if you see an Avion, look for the Atomic Twinkie.  If you see her, stop by and say hello.
