Maybe 1 more comment Ted, and hopefully I will not be confusing.
For us this symbol you create could be also a part of corporate identity - then it is about how to evolve it. build it and create it as a something which then could be transform in 2 ways - 1 in our main working tool - presentation (as a diff variant/pictograms describing slide headlines like analyse, status, recommendations, researches, summmary etc) and 2nd - describing our research products we call them 2M and USE and MUSE and 2.
Hopefuly this can help
