    If that's supposed to be the Big Dipper it seems to have an extra star.

    "give it a go" is a common motto in New Zealand for the Navy and almost everything else.

    Looks like palm trees on top of a whale. The spruce thing is the tail of the whale. Must have made a "whale of a tale." Like someone noted there seems to be an extra star on the cup of the dipper, but it is lacking a star in the handle of the dipper.

    Edit: the extra star in the front of the cup might represent the North star (Polaris) that the Big Dipper points to, All of this is a stretch of the imagination especially with the handle lacking a star.

    "Give it a go" was once used at Charmin toilet paper plants, in conjunction with monthly production awards. This information is, however, of questionable value in your research.
