Pietenpol-List: My new logo

Happy New Year to you all you good people, (no four-flushers here)Here is my not-quite-finished logo I have been working on. This has been in the works for about a year in total. After I got this idea one night in a dream, I thought I surely had seen it before somewhere, and was just recalling it from what I had seen. So I Googled it and came up with nothing, so concluded that I had dreamt this up myself. I wanted a true period font, so I actually bought a used book of the 1929-era fonts from Amazon that was published in about 1930. You would have thought that I could find something in there that I liked, but no. So I did some searches of early air mail planes and found a photo from the Chicago Tribune photo archives from that era, of an air mail plane with some lettering on it. This was precisely what I was looking for. So at that point I hand-drew all the needed letters of the correct sizes, and cut them out with scissors. Then I laid those letters out on a piece of velum paper, and traced around them onto the velum. Then I took my trusty pounce wheel (as suggested on this list by Glenn Thomas, CT.) and "pounced" out all the letters and circle onto the velum. Then I taped the velum sheet onto my plane, and used a silver "magic marker" to transfer the logo onto the side of my fuze. I used "One Shot" brand paint to hand-paint onto the fuze. Now I will add some bird wings onto either side with yellow.Dan HelsperPoplar Grove, IL.________________________________________________________________________________
