Welcome aboard and NICE start! I'm really glad you could find time to join our tournament.
A couple quick reactions: gold would be a tough color for us to identify with and the porthole/compass/waterway graphic needs some development to make it more intuitive to our readers.
I like what you're doing with the text and look forward to seeing more concepts and variations.
My reason for keeping the symbol so minimal is so that it is closer to what you might see on screen. I imagine your clients are tech savvy, the fact that much of you product surrounds laptops indicates this confidence in their knowledge base.
That being said, I think I'd need a bit more explanation as to what 'intuitive' means to you.
