The original concept was to portray the T-rex in a state of metamorphosis. The dinosaur represents the Pittsburgh area morphing from a fossil fuel-based economy into a new era as a fierce competitor. The lower portion of the dinosaur is covered in coal and stands in a reflective pool of black paint, representing oil.
