The identity utilizes a classic script in combination with a custom crest. The components are used together and alone in various combinations throughout the yacht.

The crest was designed to reflect the passions of the owners: music and maritime history. The central form was inspired by a trident but styled with the curves and forms of the key holes from wood instruments. A compass star represents the meaning of her name: "Star of the Sea."
