Corporate Logos in the Yard


I saw this green dinosaur in front of a house recently so I turned around to go back and get a photo.  I recognized this fellow as "Dino" the logo for Sinclair Oil Corp.


After I turned around and went back, I saw this fellow sitting in the same yard.  It's "Pegasus" the corporate logo for Mobile Oil.

What an unusual choice of art for the front of one's home!  I wonder if the owner works in the oil business or possibly in advertising.  Or, maybe they just like corporate logos!

Yes, that's unusual.
I sometimes pass by this house that has a moose.

Perhaps a collection of someone in the oil business?

Advertising collectors? I like that Pegasus!

That sure is different. Different is great and then it ends up being on a blog seen all over the world. How fun is that. Great find, Sharon and thanks for photographing it for us to see.

I would imagine they're in the business.

Immediately reminded me of the lyrics to that song, "What's that knocking on my door." :-)

Those are an interesting find. The Sinclair critter looks like he's grazing on the shrub.
People collect the most surprising stuff. We have a small, beautifully restored gas station in someone's yard here. I posted it years ago. I should go back and take a look again.

Well it looks like a nice way to brighten up someone's yard and make it more interesting.

Both look like they would be quite at home on Cottesloe beach during Sculpture by the Sea Sharon 😉

Ha! Those ARE an interesting choice for home decor. Surely someone there has a connection to the petroleum industry?
