Just a general comment... NO BONGS (
http://img.alibaba.com/photo/12194796/Plain_Glass_Water_Pipes_Bongs_.jpg). We want to be careful not to pick something that looks even vaguely like a bong (or a phallic symbol).
We like the concept of beakers and test tubes (but certainly aren't committed to the concept). Other words and concepts that may be helpful... "minds" and "thinking" and "networking" and "atoms" and "connectivity" and "media" and "broadcast" and "community"
