Brief de Design de Logo
We're completely rebranding the site at www.associateprograms.com and are looking for a new logo.
You'll see that we teach people how to start their own online business online. We are not locked into those colours and are happy to have a new look. The typeface for the new site is Open Sans so you'll see the design style feel we're going for from that.
I'm looking for a strong, clean, minimal and authoritative logo, but with a fresh modern feel, not old school corporate or dated looking.
It should appeal to a male skewed audience of online entrepreneurs.
The design should work well as a website header, so if you're including an icon element, make it so that it sits to the left.
Underneath it, it should have a tagline of "Growing Your Micro Business". (UPDATE: Don't worry about the tagline. It just makes it look busy).
Here are some minimal logos that I might serve as some inspiration.

Updates
Thanks for your submissions so far. Just to clarify something. I don't want it to look like the old logo. That logo is 7 or 8 years old and barely even a logo.

Exigences
Doit avoir
- Must be bold and clean and somewhat minimal.
Bien d'avoir
- Perhaps a strong, clean icon to go with it.
You could use the AP in a circle in between the ASSOCIATE and PROGRAMS.
I don't mind if you use all caps or AssociatePrograms.
I like the Avenir, Montserrat and other similar style gothic typefaces (attached)
Ne doit pas comporter
- Should not be elegant or have any wispy parts. It just be strong and bold and could work as a stamp. No old styling. Clean, modern styling with a bold typeface (probably a sans serif typeface).
