Create a sophisticated, text-free visualization for a PowerPoint slide with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Focus on the theme of information as a critical asset in the digital age, incorporating modern, professional icons or symbols related to technology, data, and analytics, resonating with Peter Sondergaard's quote. The design should be clean, visually engaging, and suitable for a business audience. Use a subdued corporate color palette. Avoid complexity to ensure it complements slide content. Ensure the image is optimized for clarity and impact in a presentation setting.::6  --ar 16:9
