Overall this works well. The full orange slice (I like it.) and the
partial slice logo with the app name is good.

bottom text with pointers is a good approach...simple, sparse, leading
to more information for people who want it.

The texture on the letters and logo doesn't make sense to me. Seems
like it should be clean, lightweight, in motion, modern. Letters
knocked out something with a motion blur. Cloud. The typeface is
already fluid. Maybe no extra decoration is needed. "Plasma" and
"Active" are also fluid.
