Looking for a logo for a company that is targeted to students and young professionals to prepare them for success on day one of their job after graduation. Therefore, it has to be edgy, modern and unique in line with that demographic. The logo will have the company name, slogan and an iconic symbol that can stand on its own on a hat, tee shirt, etc.

Requirements
Must have
- Name, logo and symbol representing the brand (high standards, standing out from the crowd, inspiring) and representing what we do (preparing students privately so that they can be high-performers, leaders and game-changers publicly once they get to the job).
Nice to have
- Something that is a modern and edgy look. Sample logo is included but just as an example and not a specific request that it has to look like this. The attached symbol represents someone who works quietly (and below the horizon or from view of others) and then rises above and becomes a brilliant star lighting the way for others. The symbol chosen by the designers could be something like this or something else creative but it must have meaning.
Should not have
- No standard clip art or common elements
