Research Lab needs a roundel-style logo design

This is what Socially-Inspired Mobility Lab was looking for in their logo design

Need a logo design (primarily in a roundel-style) for a research lab that centers on travel behavior research -- for example, how people choose modes and destinations. The lab usually takes a social networks approach and we would like to incorporate that into the logo's design. The sample design incorporates that inside the roundel through nodes and edges representing a social network. The mobility angle is possible in the design (for example, images of cars, buses, trains, planes and movement) as well.
