I think that this is quite good. Those are just my thoughts on a
moment's notice. I have not given the whole look enough consideration
to offer more than an opinion.

I like the way that you've described the style. I especially like
personality and strength rather than sterility of Apple stuff. And I
still like the orange slice and the logo you made from it.
