That's pretty nice mate. Simple and elegant.

I like the transition in colours from the Pinky-Red to the Rich Yellow. If I might say, it suits your name considering apples are usually of those colours.

The Effects behind are quite nice as well. The lighting and light rays draws your attention to the centre and keeps you interested. The textures in this image are also nice because they don't overpower the words, but more assist in creating the focal.

Downside to this would be the light "Pings". White isn't the right colour to use. If you have a look at a real ping (eg: a streetlight on a foggy night) you will notice that the colours extend outwards. Same principle can apply here... Try adding a slight colour tint to the mix and work on the transparency when it reaches the edges.

EDIT: Sorry bout the edit. Thought you may have forgotten the IMG tags

tbh I wouldn't say it was retro...

although you have made a good job, very clean but I get the feeling you should have done something a lot more interesting with the type as it is Ofc the main focus of the piece. Very clean, but quite boring...

@Shiv
I used more than 1 font. The same font didn't look good.

@ad
What is there I could add? Thats the question I asked myself, and I was happy with this outcome.
