Make a logo automatically follow the tip of a bar animated with Trim Paths

In After Effects, I animate bars (shape layers) with Trim Paths to change their length. I want a logo (or a null) to automatically follow the bar’s tip, with no manual Position keyframes. I’m looking for a native or expression-based solution to fetch the path tip position according to Trim Paths (End/Start) and attach the logo there (ideally with matching orientation/tangent).

Goal: I only adjust Trim Paths (or bar size) and the logo instantly follows the bar’s end.
