I like the orange one. Black&white not so much...without the orange
cross section, it is doesn't say much. If the sections are colored, it
takes on

The orange shape doesn't need to be a photorealistic orange. Elements
in that image work well--the orange colors and the wedges are
reminiscent of the fruit. The different colored outer layers suggest
an orange fruit. Wheel shape for active. Wedges are connected, yet
joined. A zoomed view of orange segment shows more connections and
cells, _clouded_ here and there randomly, possibly fractal.

Those elements could be retained even while making the logo less like
an actual orange.
