This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Back to the 80s logo designs

A bit repetitive with all the logos that just have parallel lines of either slightly different colors or rainbows. Also, at least three of the companies (Polaroid, Microsoft and Pepsi) did exist in the 80s... The "redesigned" Pepsi logo is even almost identical to the actual logo that was used from 1973 to 1986.

But a few of them look really nice.

Also Adobe was around back in the 80s

Years ago when I still paid occasionally to buy an icon pack on the Playstore, I would have immediately bought one that would do this to Android icons.

Love the glow look of a CRT. Too bad some of them don’t have the right font. Most are really good though. Googles is the most unrealistic, no one used smooth gradients like that back then.

Just trash from the playpen of a visual artist.

Logo design in a nutshell - if it doesn't work in 1-bit it doesn't work.
