I'm surprised you're going with this... because I like it.
The bottom gradiant is my preferred, as it is noticeable, but still allows the logo to be seen in the darkest part.
I think the logo invokes the idea of "pair", a tree/green motif, and yet the shape of the leaves forms that appears like the base of a bartlett pear. I think it looks professional, puts the name of of the business in your head, and doesn't fall into the cartoon trap easy with fruit motifs.
