Asterisphere logo

This is what Asterisphere was looking for in their logo design

I need a logo design based on the concept I put in the attached powerpoint file. The Asterisphere is a virtual platform for network of academic communities, thus we want the logo to have a letter 'A' along with nodes and connections.
Our company is Flourishing Nexus (https://www.flourishingnexus.com/). You can see our company logo there.
We open for a totally different design but it should not depart too much from our company Flourishing Nexus's logo.
We want various versions of the logo: 3-D (e.g. modern metalic or shiny gold) for a showcase and advertisement, 2-D for simplicity to be used within the platform, with and without the word Asterrisphere. Read more
