I like this one a lot because of the 4 sections. However, it's unclear to me what the little pegs are that are sticking out of each one. But it did give me an idea.
What if those 4 pieces formed an obvious lightening bolt shape in negative space within the middle of them? I like how the circular shapes are intertwined because that's exactly how the 4 steps work together. Maybe they stay light at their ends but thicker towards the middle to form the negative shape? I think it should be negative space shaped so that it doesn't matter if it's on a light or dark background.
Idea for maybe a 2nd version of the above? Instead of the "obvious" lightening bolt -- and that's how I felt going into this contest, that I didn't actually like the obvious bolt shape because it's so expected -- try forming a downward pointed "cone" shape that reflects the standard lightening bolt shape everyone uses everywhere? Like a cheerleading megaphone if you know what those are? Or a VERY simplified lightening bolt shape that is cone-like. Wow, hard to communicate in words.
Question to address in revised design: Is this orange color as "yellow orange" as I can go and still have it stand out clearly on a white background? I'm always thinking about cell phone use btw. I like a yellow gold that's closer to the blue/yellow square I attached to the project, BUT understand it has to be orange enough to pop. Whatever you think best clarity-wise.
One last thing: The above symbols should be clear enough that they could be used as an App cover by themselves without the Creation Bolt lettering.

Thank you!!
