One would think that the logo of the company would be enough to make sure everyone knows where the name comes from :)

At first I though it was kind of macabre, but then I got reminded that it's basically standard practice, exterminators frequently have bugs as their logo, bacon packages have happy pigs and so on.

The shell logo dates back to the 19th century, when Shell traded in decorative Japanese seashells. You can read more of the logo history at (Dutch) https://www.shell.nl/over-ons/netherlands/history.html
