We need help with coming up with a logo for our new Tri Club. Something abstract, showing all 3 sports, with possibly a whale? as the athlete? Maybe not. There is a long history of whaling out here. Open to any suggestions, if we decide to use your logo I will send you something. Either a RoadID bracelet, or some GU.

Mystic Whalers, and yes free GU. The name is up for reinterpretation as well. However since this was once such a large Whaling community, and still continues its rich nautical traditions, we though that the whalers might be nice. There is no Mystic High School to steal a mascot from, kids go to 2 different high schools to the best of my knowledge.

 Kinda gross Jim, but here is a rough outline for you. If you want a torn carcass, I'll have to work on that a little longer.

Good, but maybe if the whale were breaching...then you could see the pain in its eyes.

If you're gonna have a whaling logo, why candy-coat it? Own it!

(I'm sorry...I know this is coming off as snarky, but whaling is just evil. I mean, I know there was a time and a place, and it's not done now--in the US, at least by non-aboriginals--and all that, and that's it's a part of historic culture, but sheesh. If there's a "Mystic Whalers" tri club, would that be so different from a "Birmingham Slave-Owners" tri club?

You want help with a logo design, or you want folks here to GIVE you the design? Toss a couple out here and get some critique.

Bet you weren't counting of a lecture on your selection of a club name, eh?

You know...I really debated jumping in like that. If this had been posted in tri talk, I might have left it alone. But you know, when there's something you're passionate about it's hard not to speak up.

They are not still whaling here, its the legacy of the area. The area helped create energy in the 19th century. I suggested that as a name and also said I was open to suggestions.

There is a lot of evil in the way our country does business, past and present. To compare whaling to slavery suggests that your passion for this cause has you off your usual 'A' game. Slavery is wrong and always has been.

I'm not suggesting it is right Jim. Whaling had a devastating effect on the species. All I'm saying is let the guy have his heritage. Suggesting he needs to own the whole whaling thing... that reeks of intolerance to me. Throwing the "slavery club" into the mix was just insulting and not necessay.

You don't see the parallel?

In the south, slavery is part of the heritage as much as whaling was to the northeast. Check it: whaling provided industry; so did slavery. Whaling today is seen as intolerably cruel; as is slavery. Are they so different?

Just because a thing is part of your heritage doesn't mean you should celebrate it. Apartheid was part of the culture in South Africa...should that be celebrated?

If you're going to glorify something as abomidable as whaling, you should at least not pretend that it was something it wasn't.

 I think comparing animal rights to human rights abuses is not the same. I'm not condoning abusing animals either.

 You can look at any culture, country, business or anything that the human animal has ever been involved in and you will be hard pressed to find one that is pure as the driven snow. Somewhere, somehow, anytime more than one human being gets with another human being they will do something to damage the environment, plantlife, other human beings or animals. You eat fish Jim? If you eat any meat other than road kill, I don't think you can point the finger at whalers. You certainly can't compare it to slavery.
