These Character Ice-creams of Darth Vader, Mickey Mouse and Mario are shaped like their heads. They were created by Stoyn, a Russian advertising agency. I think they’re stunning; my favourite is the BlueBerry & Licorise flavor Darth Vader Ice-cream shown above. Hope you enjoy the rest…
Vintage machines of the 70’s and 80’s. Can you remember the technology back then? I can remember some of the 80’s machines from when I was young—they were top-tech! Here is a selection of retro games consoles, telephones, TV’s and camera to either take you back or simply just to inspire.
I found these Victorian graphic design posters and leaflet collection via Attitude Design. I think it’s great to look back upon design ‘before Photoshop‘ and see how different and varied advertising was back then.

Ah, the late 80’s. Can you remember when kids up and down the country were ‘Pumping Up’ their new ‘Pumps’? I never really understood what the real benefit was, but hay, they sold like hotcakes…
If you’ve seen the Back to the Future movies, you’ll notice the classic “Marty Hat“. Yeah, it isn’t very cool to look at, but what make it unique is the 1980’s retro nature of the design—and that Marty McFly wore it (Michael J Fox)! See the image below…
I once had a light-up Apple logo (yeah, the retro coloured and striped version) up in my office. After seeing this iMac light, it pales in comparison. I have used one of these machines ‘back in the day’, but now, I think retro-fitting them with lights is the way to go…
I’ve used my iPad in many ways before, but I’ve never used a retro-style ‘USB typewriter computer keyboard’ with it!
