Maury Auster ShellfishLogo Design Contest

We are a Black and Woman owned boutique, shellfish farm in Vashon island, WA. I am originally from New Orleans, LA and my partner Cassondra is from the Pacific Northwest. Vashon is divided into 2 areas, Vashon Island and Maury Island. We grow our shellfish on Maury island, considered a separate island though connected to Vashon by a little strip of land. Both land masses are generally called Vashon Island as a whole. Our name comes from the Maury of Maury Island and Auster, which is German for oyster, an homage to the 3 years that Cassondra spent in Germany as an exchange student.
Being a small shellfish farm, we are able to really love on and refine our oysters allowing them to grow beautiful striated shells that have deep cups, firm meat, and amazing flavor. Not only do we sell to local restaurants markets and events, we are in the process of creating shore dinners that are centered around our oysters and the love of the Salish Sea.

Blue, Black Green, gold/sand colors come to mind but I am open. I want it to represent the ocean and what we do.

We are looking for a clean logo that ties in our passion for shellfish and farming. This could be anything from a simple map of Vashon/Maury Island (see photo - gold star is location of farm) to a logo with depicting an oyster shell or multiple shells in a pattern to ... we are very open. I have attached some photos of oyster and map to assist and can provide more photos as needed. We have also attached some illustrative style oyster images that we like.
