What Is Retro Logo Design?
Similar to Vintage, Retro logo design is imitative of a style from the recent past. Whether you would like your logo to reflect 90s fashion or 60s music or we help you build a retro feel around your brand. Retro logo designs are incredibly effective as they forge meaningful connections between the past and present.
The Comeback of Retro Logos
There is a reason why, In the past few months, you may have noticed that UK brands have reverted back to their nostalgic past. Some of our country’s biggest names have returned to previous versions of their company logo in an attempt to convey their brand’s rich heritage and original charm. It appears a new trend is emerging in 2017 and that retro branding is making a comeback.
Kodak
Kodak are one of the most well-known brands in the western world and the use of the Kodak ‘K’ is now back and better than ever before! It has revived as logo designers have used a vibrant colour palette which creates a strong identity across all aspects of the Kodak brand.
Coca Cola

A lot has changed since Coca Cola began, however, they have stuck to their roots and their customers love them for it!
Co-op

Using Colour for Retro Logos
Do you have a colour scheme in mind? If you are not sure where to start when it comes to retro colour schemes we would be happy to help you. For our retro logo clients, we tend to use softer, more muted, neutral colours, such as pastels and tans, however, this will all depend on your business’ preference.
Retro colour arrangements are sometimes sharper and brighter and this may not suit the tone of your brand. If you would prefer to go the subtle route – let us know. We can create a logo which is made to your personal specifications.
Not sure which colour or colours to choose? When it comes to retro colour schemes go back in time for inspiration. Think of colours you would find in a faded Polaroid photo from your childhood, a vintage, older buildings and architecture, record covers or whatever you can think of from the last century that you associate with your business.
Retro Logo Design Inspiration
If you’re looking to get the ball rolling but are struggling to think of any logo design ideas. At Repeat Logo, we not only do logo design but we can provide some good old fashioned logo design inspiration.
Circles
Circles are extremely common in retro logo design. At Repeat Logo our designers can make something with circles and circular bursts. We have been asked in the past to create an old style design with a round container. The technique works quite well and instantly looks classic. One popular way to slightly modify the circle is using a gear shape. This is a great idea if you are looking to create branding which is more masculine. Gears tend to feel more industrial and give off a post WWII sort of aesthetic.
Robots
Robots are extremely retro and are very specific time to a different time period, something which a retro logo tends to signify. We can create the sci-fi logo you have always dreamed of!
Cars
We are often asked if we create car logos and they answer is yes! We believe that nothing says retro more than a classic car. The 60s and 70s feel of a classic car logo is cool and totally eye catching. Cars are also great if you are looking for something with a vintage appeal. There are a few other variations on the transportation theme here as well, particularly of the two-wheeled variety.
Type
Retro typography looks great when it is done professionally. We can create a text logo for your business that is versatile as well as unique. A retro logo should always come with flair, however, it should be easy to understand and read. Type has an amazing ability to communicate so much about a design, in this case we see each example suggesting a very specific decade.
Badges
Badges are very similar to the “circles” theme which we have mentioned above. We can create your logo in a more complex shape.
People
People are often used in logo design, just look at KFC. If your company has a character which it uses in it branding then it is always fun to see character illustrations in logos, especially when the style reflects something from a bygone era.
