I have noticed a recent rise in the number of logos designed in a retro style. Be it colors or design elements that remind you of an era past, retro logos are very charming and induce a sense of nostalgia. Swirly fonts and muted colors are a dead giveaway of a retro style. Then there are actual objects used that you don’t see much anymore like the volkswagon vans and milk bottles. I have rounded up 40 groovilicious, really beautiful retro logos that are truly inspiring, some in their simplicity and some in their complex nature. Retro or not, all of these have a very retro vibe about them. What do you perceive as retro? What are your favorite retro logos?
