Train Rails and Whale Tails

Saved by the whales

A Dutch train driver was saved by an art installation of two giant whale tails after the engine crashed through the end safety barrier. The sculpture, titled Whale Tails, was installed in 2002 by artist Maarten Struijs.

For anyone that was expecting an article related to Save the Whales, allow me to offer you this logo design as a consolation. In July of 2019 Japan announced that it was returning to whale hunting after a 30 year moratorium. I vented by designing this logo but never found a home for it. I say moratorium but Japan continued whale hunting all the time using the thinly veiled research excuse.
