Old Style Bits
Must-Have Old Style Bits
Shapes and Looks
Big shapes and set looks are key for real old style.
Mid-century looks use clean cuts, even shapes, and simple forms – rings, three-sides, and four-sides – to make a big visual hit.
These bits are the base for real old designs that pull people in.
Colors That Show Time
Known old colors take you to set times. Famous color mixes include:
- 70s colors: Bright orange, green, deep yellow
- 50s looks: Soft pink, light blue, soft green
These time-right colors work well with old design bits like star shapes, fly-back shapes, and old-school art.
Words and Real Bits
Right-time words are key in putting in old style. Main word bits include:
- Big thick letters
- Fun written letters
- Big no-feet letters
These letters go well with old design parts like badges, hand art, and small dots.
Real old ways like old paper looks, color wear, and off printing add true old charm not just fake old looks.
These well-meant not-perfects make the old-inspired designs feel real.
Colors for Two-Person Shows
Picking Colors for Two: A Designer’s Help
Base Color Pairs
Colors that go well start every big retro two show look.
The top looks mix old warm tones with new bright colors.
Dark orange with dark green-blue and bright yellow with soft dark blue are key two mixes that grab eyes.
Setting Visual Levels
Main colors set up the base of good two color sets.
Deep red-wine color and avocado green are main colors that show old style. The next one should add depth and play off the main while keeping it even.
Deep bright colors with their soft, dusty kin – like big green with soft green – make true old feels.
Shiny Bits and Last Touches
Shiny bits lift up two color ways to pro levels.
Soft gold and red-gold bits add needed depth to the set.
The trick is in clear visual levels – one color leads while the other helps, both working to hit old smart looks. These smart mixes get the mid-1900s look while keeping it new.
