My logo being rejected and won’t be able to re-submit again

Hello guys, my logo been rejected. Maybe you guys can comment on my submitted logo.
So i have the clear guideline for what should i improve for my next submission.
Thanks for helps…

hi maybe u have been hard rejected because u did not offer a horizontal version of the logo as well …

Hello. Horizontal version is also provided

oh ok, then i do not know maybe this is the style that they did not like despite gradients are trendy … hard to tell

Is horizontal version is mandatory for the logo ?? As per my knowledge it is optional.
Thanks

as for me i was told it was and this was an expert in logos here who told me … now maybe ever since things have changed that was quite a good while ago , so maybe they are no longer necessarily required , i do not know
