I guess they're kind of retro futurist/art nouveau type things: I always felt there was a kind of backward-looking-ness about the regime in the comic, harking back to a cosy 1950s ideal which I thought would be a shame to lose in the film, but I guess these reflect that quite well. I seem to remember in some of the set snaps the 'Voice Of Fate' was being promoted by retro posters, I guess it's like a pastiche of that.

Really impressed with number 3 poster, the big V. Actually makes me want to see the film!

I'm not getting my design history (or spelling) right, on closer inspection I'd say:

Poster 1 = Art Nouveau/Art Deco
Poster 2 = Russian revolutionary posters/Expressionism
Poster 3 = Art Nouveau
Poster 4 = Russian revolutionary posters/Expressionism

I'd say that of the lot, the second one, the red one, looks the most commercial. The rest look as if they're intended to put off the general movie-goer. Still very nice though, maybe as a set of postcards.

I reckon these are more for the fans, we'll have a more generic cinema poster at time of release, like the one's released before these.
