In an October 24, 2023 WIRED video/interview with the Marvel's Spider-Man series creative director Bryan Intihar, he revealed that when redesigning Venom, the development team wanted to take all the elements of Venom that both players and fans loved about the character. Whether it's Venom's size, symbol, teeth, mouth, eyes, transformation and power, they wanted to be respectful of the DNA of the character, but also not afraid to mix things up. Ultimately, the goal was to take all of this all into account to ensure that Venom is "pretty badass".
