I like the layout a lot. But the Catalyst molecule logo was apparently mistaken for a planetary system, which might have inspired the space theme. Perhaps keep the layout but change the thematic elements back to the chemistry/molecular/catalysis theme.

BTW, there are a lot of very cool colorful images of catalytic surfaces (for example as seen on the cover of The Definitive Guide to Catalyst). Here's a real cool image:

Which I found on this page:

That's likely copyrighted, but is perhaps a great starting place for inspiration.
