Well, lots of answers, actually, and all of them are valid and related connects. Best of them all was shrik’s answer:
1. Movie poster for Fritz Lang’s “Woman In The Moon”
2. The first successfully launched German V2 rocket – it had the Frau im Mond logo painted on it, owing to Werner von Braun (designer of the rocket) being assistant to Hermann Oberth (tech advisor to the movie)

the first pic is of the movie frau in mond by fritz lang. had the first countdown sequence ever, and also had herman oberth as a special scientist in the movie for consulting. Herman oberth also went on to make the A4 which paved the way for the famous V-2 (pic 2) which was finally made by Von Braun who was a student of oberth.

‘Frau im mond’, is considered to be the first sci-fi, which dealt with rocket blast offs. The logo of the name ‘Frau im mond’ appeared on the base of the first successfully launched V-2 as a sign of acknowledgment to the movie’s ripe ideas.
PS: It’s strange.. The details on the movie-poster’s pic seem to be blacked out right at first sight. One zoom-in into the pic, and the director’s name lies there, naked!

Lang’s “Frau im Mond” was majorly popular among Werner von Braun’s V-2 making gang because one of the boys – Oberth – was an advisor on the movie. So when the first V-2 went up, they had the logo of the movie painted on it.
