City Logos Designed in Charming Retro 80s Style

Czech designer Kostya Petrenko has perfected that slightly pixelated, analog glow from the 1980s, and extended it to a redesign of city logos from around the world.

We see cities from Warsaw, Venice, Miami and Sydney represented, each in a trademark 80’s style, which feels alive with retro energy.

Check out the series below, and see more of Petrenko’s work on Behance.
