Hi,

RE: The two PNGs
In my view these two PNGs resemble very much black holes (at least the deformation in the space and the gravitation suggests so), and a black hole means information paradox 'hanging' in science unresolved, and the information paradox means high possibility of losing information in time and space (nothing is at it looks like and as we know it) - and I am not quite sure that this is an appropriate message  for an Ad of an OS.

RE: Keeping it more simple
Of course keeping it more simple is much better. (see the example attached herewith).

Regards.

More reworking - it's a bit more swirly / the rockets come together at a
more distinct point. Before they were about to come together but not
quite there.

I have a blue and a multi-color-neon-kinda version as well:
