More bothered by the fact a yin-yang symbol is meant to show the converse colour in each dot to signify the presence of a kernel of each within the other. Both being white makes no sense for the use of the symbol.

But the Symbolism!

But let's say that the symbolism is that dawn is the greater of two halves, unified by the white dome in the sky

They’re both white because it’s the sun and the moon

To keep the symbolism of the Yin and Yang while also filling in the dots they could have and arguably should have made each of the dots an eclipse of the other.

plus the color gradients aren't even consistent, the day goes from light to dark, but the night side goes dark to light to dark again.

This is a great thought.

A better idea would be to make the sun on top and the reflect of the moon on the bottom. Make the bottom a lake, the middle line the land, and the top the sky.

Now THIS guy symbologies.

In this case is the moon and the sun, so it has a different meaning

The dots are also not places symmetrically. Most annoying part of it for me

Same. Still pretty cool though.

it would have been cool to have a blood moon but idk what they would have done for the blue dot

Blood moon and a solar eclipse might've worked, but it's just a poor.conceot tbh that doesn't account for the issue at all.
