Dawn and I saw this logo of the Mitsui O.S.K. Lines shipping company while en route to San Francisco's De Young Art Museum two weeks ago:
It is cute. Here is the story of how it came to be, from the designer Ryohei Yanagihara: http://www.mol.co.jp/yanagihara-e/library/library2.html
The company has a selection of historical promotional posters here: http://www.mol.co.jp/poster-e.shtml

Ha! We are sitting at a train crossing in Naples Idaho and my son saw the MOL Alligator logo and was all excited so I had to google it. Thank you for the info.
