If you add something meaningful like "Collaboration Across Borders: defining a new frontier" or whatever is thematic variation. Inclusive "Collaboration Across Borders: rwx3" is better than just "rwx3 "or just "Collaboration Across Borders". Just "rwx3" does not add power enough to be marketable. So a balanced mix of words and symbols make some sense here.
