Our Old Saybrook retro logo uses Connecticut's oyster-shell motif over "Connecticut - Est. 1636," symbolizing shoreline abundance and tying the design to the colonial founding of the state. Its black-and-white styling is retro, resembling oyster crate labels and coastal signage, and it bridges Old Saybrook's dual identity: colonial port and modern shoreline town. On merchandise it reads authentic and vintage — an emblem of Connecticut shoreline pride.
Old Saybrook sits in Middlesex County where the Connecticut River meets Long Island Sound — about 10,500 people, one ZIP code (06475), and two lighthouses.
