Hum, I haven't though of this one, I guess I will add this as an option...
I suppose you mean true spheres for the planet and moon.
The hole is probably still to be digged by a cylinder, unless I make the

Same for the logo (text), I have to dig it in the sphere, unless it is just

I let slip this year anniversary, I will make a big, nice scene for the 10th
