CodeIgniter 4 Logo

We already have great options from Ignitedcms and Muzikant and others in this thread... but because variety is always a good thing, I went back to ciadmin's requirements and took a stab at this too. 

How do I give this post a like? I love this style and the concept 
What I feel is missing from @Muzikant and the other proposed logo is a sense of depth and dynamicness that this one has.

I love the shape and I think it's a great start. Right now, I feel like this logo is in Alpha stage. For my humble feedback, the gradients could be refined and integrated better with the outside circle. Variants of the outside circle could be tried too. 

How does the CodeIgniter community feel about simple vs sophisticated? 
I feel right now the design world has moved away from minimalism and gradient/artistic flourishes are in vogue. Logos have more sophisticated detailing that showcases the thought put into the design. Sort of like the designs below ⬇️



Here's my best guess at the attributes that would suit a new CodeIgniter logo well. Please let me know your thoughts.
