What's with the streaking dorsal fin?

It's a graphic representation of motion. They've been prevalent in comic-books for decades. I believe Jack Kirby referred to them as 'motion lines'.

you know what it is, a dolphin's tail is horizontal to their body, unlike a sharks, which is vertical. This one seems to be caught in between, if that explanation makes any sense. chucky's suggestion could help that I think

Well yes... but shouldn't there be motion lines on other parts of the dolphin? I mean, its not just the dorsal fin that is moving....

Not necessarily. I think that in this case, more motion lines would hinder the overall design, which is rather complex. They would definitely work on a simpler logo, though.

By the way, the updated tail is great! The rest of that poor dolphin looks like a cyborg, however.
