Retro and vintage are popular but less known design styles in the design industry. By integrating older styles and colors with modern techniques and approaches, a retro or vintage style can be adapted into effective modern design and catch a viewer’s eye.
Vintage logo designs tend to use near neutral colors, such as tans, pastels and other softer colors, while retro logo designs tend to integrate a sharper, brighter color to attract the viewer’s eye.
Here are some great examples of cool vintage logos and sharp retro logos.
