A graphic logo on a white background with a combination of shapes, text, and colors. At the center-left, a dark brown, three-step staircase shape ascends to the right. Running diagonally upward along the stairs is the word "SUPPORT" in white, sans-serif uppercase letters. To the right, running parallel to the staircase, is the word "SUSTAIN" in teal, sans-serif uppercase letters. Behind this word, four teal semi-circular shapes cascade downward to the right, decreasing in size. Nestled between the two diagonal words is a stylized teal clam shell icon with radiating fan lines. Below the main graphic, two lines of text read: "supporting each other" in dark brown, followed by "sustaining the work" in teal, both in a clean, lowercase sans-serif font.

An abstract logo with text on a white background. At the center is a teal-colored, fan-like shape resembling a book opening or a stylized scallop shell, with thick teal borders framing a series of radiating spokes. Above and to the left of this central shape, a brown staircase-like graphic ascends diagonally from left to right. The word "SUPPORT" in white, uppercase letters is written diagonally along the lower edge of the stairs. To the right, a series of dark teal semi-circles step downwards diagonally. The word "SUSTAIN" in a dark teal, uppercase font is written diagonally parallel to this descent. Below the main graphic, two lines of text read: "supporting each other" in a brown, sans-serif font, and "sustaining the work" in a dark teal, sans-serif font.
