I agree with Gino. Try to minimize the use of effects. The first one doesn't say global talk to me but gangster rap or something like that.
The second one kind of works but try to tone down the bevel/shadow a bit or try with completely flat text. Also I'd loose the drop shadow on the URL and maybe make it white or light grey? I like the graphics on the sides though and with the right typography it could be a great design.
