I know its a bad idea for a guy (me) who can't draw to
suggest logos, but how about a filter-funnel with a mix of
(say) black and white coloured letters (as in snail mails)
jostling to get in at the mouth and a stream of only white
coloured ones coming out of the narrow end?  Problem would
be to get the letters small enough yet still comprehensible
as such, but I think it could be done.
