Create crisp and engaging identity / logo for technology investment fund

"Next Light" or some variation => NEXT_Light or nextLIGHT or Next=>Light

"Investing in the Future of Innovation" -- tag line, vs than incorporate into logo. want logo to strong and stand on its own, perhaps on back of business card add the tagline.

we are an investment management firm, and this logo is for a technology focused investment fund. "Next" is implying we identify future trends in technology in the economy, and "Light" is a proxy for technology. Our investors are sophisticated institutions and individuals / family offices, 30 to 70 years olds, high educated, likely conservative, want logo to stand out, but also demonstrate trust and experience, with a technology element (light, beam, fiber optic), but not goofy are too playful.

logo will go on letter head and statements, so should be able to float freely on a white page --

Want a logo that reads clearly and has some iconography that suggests "next" such as an arrow or + or some other clever reference, and light can be stylized. Perhaps extending a letter or two with the references. Something that is modern, easy to read and understand what the brand stands for -- some more mood words: investing, research driven, selective, concentrated, thoughtful, unique, forward thinking, experience, careful, trust, wisdom, technology, innovation
