Large blocks of primary colour, as in the flyer below can work well:

do you think the 'pacman' font would work?
hard to come up with visuals... most people tell me their 80s experience was defined by music...

I remember a lot of spray paint....
Like someone would take a blank wall or canvas or whatever and just spray it. The process would show lots of spots and lines (like paint dripping) rather than completely covering the canvas there would be areas where the item painted could be seen.
I'm probably doing a lousy job of describing it. . . It was kind of like something Jackson Pollack would paint but more New Wave or Punk.
