I'm loving the inversion for the silhouettes of the dancers, but the black moon is not doing it for me.
I'd like to see you try with a white moon, black dancers, and keep the gradient in the "grey" zone. Also, put the brightest part of the gradient at the moon, not in the center - the moon should be the source of light.
Is the version you mocked onto the chip brighter? It seem brighter to me, but that might be because this one is surrounded by white.
Throw it on a chip, and post it side-by-side with this one:
My guess is that you'll think it is too dark.
Honestly the newer ones don't even hold a candle to this one.
Many thanks to everyone for the suggestions of things to try. I feel like opinion is narrowing around these three, with the grayscale one in the lead, followed by the glowing moon-midnight blue one. Here they are to scale on cleaner chip mockup.

For me absolutely. It has a bold simplicity. Kind of makes me think of the Lady Luck Club.
As much as you want to get the "perfect" design, you must eventually choose one you like. Keep trying different designs and you may never be happy. The following video is 20 minutes long, but it may be helpful if you enter the zone of "I like #2, but maybe I can completely redesign it and make it better". I feel you are getting to that stage.
Ted Talk
I'll admit, when I redesigned the original to arrive at these latest ones, I looked at the Lady Luck chips for inspiration.

You crack me up. Good point.
Charcoal moon...so it isn't as "in your face". And I still think the denoms don't need an outline...just make a brighter shade of red. Looking good though.
