Murex could use a logo
This is perhaps the toughest issue for me to resolve because I'm not even remotely any good at graphic design
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murex - there's a lovely photo of a Murex pecten. Someone with the right skillset could use an autotracer to create an SVG...

I could not find a good font containing a character for "µRx".

I'm not sure if that's genius or insane, but I'm going to steal that idea and do the same

I used Helvetica because it was handy, and I'm not overly creative when it comes to font choices:
My terminal font of choice is Fira Code which looks like this:

I've had another play and have come up with the following
I can't say I'm 100% happy with this but it does feel like the best thus far. Maybe if I drop the "MUREX" lettering and maybe go with a different sea shell (rather than sticking with one that is technically accurate)?
