Did I win?

LOL, that's true.  The Dear L'Novel one I posted is beyond god awful, but at least they're just a tiny indie band.

ViViD is fucking MAJOR and they produced this crap.  I particularly love the "whoosh" effect on this one:

I don't think ViViD deserves to be in the tacky category for their MESSAGE and Infinity covers, but they do deserve to be in the most non-creative cover arts or at least "low-budget" looking covers even though they were major for those covers

I don't get what's wrong with that D cover? i thought it was cool or above average for a band cover

 

Tbqh D as a whole is tacky as hell (I think it escalated when the whole Vampire Saga thing started though) yet it feels so tacky because it looks like a deviantart piece or concept art for some sort of fantasy game that everybody buys because it's made by Square Enix but turns out to be absolutely awful in the end.

^the way they threw the words on that one bothers me, too but the photo is really cool. Is that lycaons vocalist? (I only listened to them once and didn't like them, so I have no idea~)

Yeah... I actually think the photo doesn't look so bad. I guess the bad taste it emits comes from what it portrays (fetish motives are really hard to pull off seriously). But the Typo bothers me as well... especially the spacing of the worlds. They did it to make the typo look more interesting, but it just looks bad.

I'm not quite sure if everyone is on the same page with what "tacky" means.

 

I totally agree here...I feel like this thread is less about tacky covers and more about just terrible ones...not that that is a bad thing lol.

Here are some ones I find tacky
