Collections of Retro Style Logo Designs

In recent years, one of the more interesting trends in logo design has been creating artwork that’s heavily influenced by the 1950′s and 60′s. Vintage style logos have fallen into favour amongst web designers, potentially because the contrast between the high tech medium and the old-style Americana feel is so interesting. Retro style logos like this tend to reflect brands that are perhaps a bit more quirky, interesting and unusual – and as a result they also tend to stand out a bit more against their less excitingly designed rivals.

Retro logos have a particular look and feel about them – there’s often a very heavy emphasis on typography, particularly when a hand-written typeface is used. Circles are often used as a border to the main design, and sometimes a ribbon effect is adopted. Most noticeable, in many cases, are the colour choices – either vibrant reds, or very heavily muted colour palettes tend to work well – and all of these factors culminate in a beautifully designed, interesting and inspiring logo that could easily be at home in a 1950′s diner.

We’ve brought together a collection of creative, quirky and fun retro style logos that will hopefully inspire you for your next logo design project.
