If you gave me the job of painting the NASA snack-mobile I think I would at least make the logo bigger or give it a racing stripe or something.

That said, this is awesome. I wonder what funnel cake would be like in space.

I also like how the windows/front of the truck resembles the cockpit/nose of a space shuttle. I wonder if that's just a coincidence, or extraterrestrial involvement.

I love the visual reference to the space shuttle too, especially how "Snack Mobile" echoes "Space Shuttle", both in Helvetica.

Oops, the space shuttle has "United States" in Helvetica. Memory, you are a fickle place.
