Road Cows

When I moved to the Netherlands and started riding out into the countryside polders, I was amused to see the square-assed cows on warning signs at cattle crossings. This led to me paying more attention, and I then noticed the signs in India had quite different horns. My curiousity led me to find that the contributors of Wikipedia had, of course, inventoried these road signs from around the world.

In late 2026, at work with Quillbot I needed to test design production agents. So I natrually set them to the task of extracting the cow symbols from these signs while keeping track of their provenance. It was a great exercise that uncovered different approaches to subagent delegation, SVG inspection, and general model capabilities.

Eventually, I got a good stack of cows and was able to compile this reference poster. I am sure it will be found important and appear in classrooms everywhere.
