I am looking for a logo for a new research lab in the Information Science department at Cornell University. The lab is called the Future of Learning lab. We study how technology can benefit students (mostly in higher education) and prepare them for life and work. One thought I had (not sure if it's a good idea) is to use the F and L as part of the logo, but there may be more creative/expressive ideas out there.

Requirements
Nice to have
- Ideally, there is a version with text (Future of Learning; Cornell Future of Learning Lab; Future of Learning Lab) and one with just the logo without text.
Should not have
- The logo should not be too specific for any technology (e.g. laptops).
