Okay, I'm leaning towards full-tacky, because I actually can't read the text on the Blue version. So the background would definitely need to change on the Blue for it to work.
Full-tacky is readable, and I actually like the tacky aesthetic. So I think go with your strengths and embrace the tack. :)
I mean, let's face it, we're not in Venom fandom for refined suaveness. Eddie Brock is no James Bond, amirite???
That said, there are a few things it would be great if you could tweak:
- I think the banner across the top with the urls is a bit much with green, red, and yellow. Maybe get rid of the green and keep it as yellow bg with red border?
- On the big bang side, replace the current text under Venom's arm with "Posting starts October 1". Sign-ups are a bit more complicated than for a standard exchange, and if people sign up on 28 June, it will actually be too late. I think telling people when they can expect to find stuff to read/view is more useful. Note that there's a typo on the date of the reveal info as you have it at the moment.
- I adore the WOW!. Just saying. ;)
- I find the current font for the info text readable. If you think a comic sans style font would increase readability, then I'm for it, but otherwise, a standard serif font like the one you have is fine. My main criteria on this is "can people read it?"
In summation: you're awesome, and your tacky aesthetic rules.
