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.
