Cyclemon.com demonstrates the “Retro” look well because of the colors. They are muted, yet powerful. The typography also adds, especially the double-circled logo, for the vintage ink look!

Namesforchange.org has the Retro look because of the negative, vintage pictures. The contrasting colors, and the triangular textured backgrounds contribute as well.

The old school TV, its texture, and the vintage furniture on the screen are a great example of retro. The mustard yellow and deep olive green colors add to the site. The fuzzy textured background gives that washed out look this style aims for.
Beatboxacademy.ca has that vintage feel because of the cream colored background. The color is limited. The navigation at the bottom is created from simple square shapes.
Ishothim.com is Retro because of the textured wall in the background. The stylish typography, and old school objects in the background all work well together.
Circles are best for creating vintage looks!
This site has great simple typography. Having most of the pictures washed out in gray scale, and one accented gives that retro look! The brick setup is simple and works well for this site!

The old school computer monitor and simple background on oncarbure.com’s homepage are retro. The typeface that is underlined is also a good choice!
Morethan20.com’s heading “MORE THAN TWENTY” is very retro. A large textured typeface gives off that look. The fun, grayed and colored pictures are vintage with an accent! The washed out watercolor background is a great color, and the simple shapes, and textured shapes really add to the look!
Urbanoff.com used the perfect background blue color for the retro look. The texts drop shadow and inner shadow with the grey go great with the blue! The simple shape banners and ellipse shape in the center are quite vintage.
This sites simple typography and accented neutrals images give that retro look! The shapes are fun and old school. The center eye, actually being a record player! The site is very minimal and clean!
