Thanks for your effort!

The new icon looks good, though there is something that bothers me and
I can't quite describe. An attempt:

It looks somewhat flat. I don't know why. The Moon also looks flat,
but in this case I think I know why. Is the crescent supposed to be a
moon phase, or the moon during an eclipse? Because it looks like the
second case - the shadow looks like Earth's shadow being cast on the
Moon.
