Scene as in demoscene? then yes. But from what I see of those the entire logo is a piece of art itself and then must more importantly deal with focus and composition more so than being readable. Graffiti is the similar for the most part. A logo for a video game that might be on the screen for 2 seconds before the player presses the start button is a different story. I stressed the readability part of the logo because the artistic part is already well done.

everything's stinkin' grey

You could try adding some warm colors to the astronaut. It would work better as a costume design because uh lol where is the light being reflected from in the cold desolate asteroid field. Or even if his design doesn't change I'm sure you could fit a red in the fire. If that fails then you could make the jet REALLY BRIGHT so the player knows where his dude is at.

demo: (non C64 colors)

I would use more green on the guy, maybe replace the grey by green, as well as adding red. I'd look back at Eyecraft's chart (it's very handy, in fact I used it for a C64 piece... in fact I'll say THANK YOU! Eyecraft for such a constructive sheet)
Anyway, this is turning out well :)

Whoah!  Good to see you didn't give up this one, it's coming along pretty nicely!  I like the new HUD, these Japanese marks make it feel even more oldschool!  You could utilize them, though -- maybe make some power-ups, four types of them, and if the player gathers them all you're rewarded with an 1UP.  The marks (e.g. glowing) would then signalize how many you have right now.

Looking good. Are you going to keep this single pixel or do you intend to remake it widepixel?
I had problems working out the scene, and had problems identifying the turquoise/green stuff as thrust, and that he wasn't hovering for example. Try and convey speed more through perspective or blur. I think the thunder should be more geometric and thinner (it looks like an explosion).
