That's a difficult one. In the new design, the stars are aligned in the middle, but typographically, the old one is better because 'whitespace' (in this case blackspace) is distributed evenly. You could try do to another tweak in the old design: rotate the stars so that their axe is perpendicular to the circle.
nice work!
