I cant say I like it either . I think the overall shape can be improved to be more interesting to the eye.
Here some examples that may inspire you

I also think that maybe your light beam should be more sharp.
I really love the original icon, its one of the best if not the best icon I have seen used for a coding application. But variation is always welcomed ;)
I am actually thinking designing my own icon for my application too. I know making art is not as easy it may look.
Definetly excited to see where you will go with this.

Subject: [Pharo-project] Pharo Icon Revamped
I spent my days reactivating my Illustrator skills and tried my luck
on the Pharo logo. I still lack the water and some perspective mismatches
with the stripes :) but for me this looks better than the current one :)
(as usual a highly subjective opinion).
