Pretty good if you ask me. I like the first one, the second one's a little too bright. I like the text too, it fits with the theme. But the colour doesn't really blend in.
I agree, scanlines= No, no.
The effects are not too bad either! But like Papa said, the render looks screwed up. Maybe change it to another that still fits in with the background colour and effects? I dunno.
Add in a border
Good job
