[This is a work in progress. A 7-piece shell form (think the Shell petroleum logo) - in "clay yellow" - is to be placed in the centre (blue) circle

I have yet to devise a 7 piece shell icon - with which I am satisfied].

The shell metaphorically signifies the womb of Gaia (the world) - and the emergence of the female principle into the world (ie Aphrodite) - which allows for the emergence of humanity.

The male principle alone - could never generate "humanity" - for biological, psychological, and sociological reasons.

In a sense the birth of Aphrodite - also signifies the birth of Kythera.
