Banyan trees are cool. And probably fit the idea very well. But I don't
know if there is enough context for people to get it. I know about them,
but only vaguely. While olive branches I understand right away.

If you do a google search for 'extending the olive branch' you get quite
a few hits about people making peace.

I'm not sure that 'peace' is our primary motto, though.

I think we are more about collaboration and freedom.

What about a network of rivers, which flow apart and back together?
