Well I think the changes to the main HUD you see during gameplay was more about minimizing the amount of space it takes up on the overall screen. Just look at how much space the HUD elements take up in Galaxy image you posted. Simple one-color objects work better at smaller scales because it's easier to make out what they are even at small size, while smaller stylish images can become tougher to identify. So if they plan for the HUD to be present on the screen at all times, that makes perfect sense to me.
i have to agree with the lack of style and polish on the "Moon Get" text, however. That doesn't even look like an actual screenshot from a video game. It looks like someone online lazily pasted some text onto a screenshot. It really doesn't impress on me the feeling of "fun" nor excitement that I accomplished something. It really deserves SOME level of stylishness, at minimum I'd accept just a change of font to something less bland.
On a side note I feel that putting the date of your accomplishment on screen during your victory kind of pulls you out of the immersion a bit.
