Vintage, Vintage Everywhere: 7 Great Vintage Logo Design Trends To Follow

Elegant, Stylish and Retro look logo designs has always appealed me. Creating a vintage style logo demands much effort and is really difficult to pull off, as in these designs it is really important to get the typography right. Here, what works well are the hand-drawn scripts as retro logos often use custom, hand-illustrated letters – or heavily adapted typefaces.
If you are looking for some great Vintage Logo Design trends of 2014, you will certainly found this post helpful and here we have shortlisted seven of the trends that I noticed this year, in this sort of artwork.


Badge Concept:

This concept is vastly seen in the vintage logo designs. These designers usually use a nice, simple shape to stamp them anywhere in the logo. Circles are undoubtedly the extremely popular shape for this concept, yet you'll also find heaps of hexagons, shields and diamonds.








Hand Drawn
Logo designs that have a hand drawn or sketchy look extremely aesthetic. The hand drawn logos are very much in fashion. Though vintage logo design collections tend to be fairly mannish in appearance, it's really nice to see shops forcing back against this trend with composite floral arrangements and beautiful, soft colors like you can see in the MakeMediaCo.’s logo.



Industrial
The early mid of 20th century design witnessed simple logos without feathered shadows, gradients, or 3D renders, at the same time they managed to create bold visual statements. Those days, the graphical icons were axes, wrenches, hammers, and factories, not WiFi signals and clouds. For me, it's quite usual for our tech savvy coevals to be drained to visuals that freshen the times of industrial revolution. From our side, we have a quiet deference for the men and women involved in building the modern world by shedding their sweat and investing their labor rather than mouse clicks and keystrokes.

Land and Sea
For whichever reason, vintage logo treatments usually feature animals with antlers: elk, deer, moose, it doesn't matter. It’s in, If it has antlers. This goes hand in hand along with the overall outdoor trend in these sorts of logo designs (mountains, tents, trees, etc.). Nautical themes are tremendously popular as well. Fish, Anchors, and ropes head for some really striking graphical elements.


Logos On Photos
Retrospect at how the logo designs looked like ten years ago and you usually see a solid background or perhaps a gradient. The bright, complex and colorful Internet logos of the time seemed too busy for anything else. In the recent times, our monotone, hipster logo designs are simple enough that they appear incredible when over lied on top of a neat photograph. If you're in search of a way to create the logos in your shop appear even better, give it a try.



If your customers are asking for something popular and all the rage, you can use the above ideas above as inspiration to create your own awesome vintage masterpieces. Or, if you long to blaze your own trail, you after reading this post know what's previously being done. Best of luck!
