No, you're getting somewhere, as far as a useful logo goes. Just 
remember those Apple icons rely on sort of a subsurface scattering 
effect, like a translucent gemstone. Some scattering/absorption media in 
the circle would help with that. You would have to specify photon 
interaction with the media, of course. The finish would have to be 
reflective (with fresnel or falloff), and there would have to be a 
sharp, white reflective texture or surface in the sky somewhere.
