Logo and Ethymology
The Logo represents a Karalian island crab whit two Lakkathan style feathers on its head. The crab with 2 feathers being a symbol in the karali islands representing Mystery, usually represented as a purple crab, due to purple also being assosiated with mystery. Lampa teí (IPA: /Lam.pa ti:/) from old Lakkathan language "Lámpas Téi" meaning "Crab/seafood heaven" lámpas originally means crab, reinforcing the usage of a crab as arepresentasion of the restourant, but over time began to mean seafood overall, in modern standart Lakkathan (aka common Lakkathan) the word Lampa means seafood, and Lápom means crab.
