A Celebration of Vintage and Retro Design

My brain nearly exploded checking out the almost endless stream of vintage and retro design/illustration, and what looks to be plenty of contemporary visuals inspired by the past: A Celebration of Vintage and Retro Design

Most of the images in the list branch off to their sources, plenty of which are Flickr feeds. This image comes from the exhaustive Mid-Century Illustrated pool.

(Thanks, Max!)

    How about that Italian ice cream bar (Fortunello) that includes an image of Happy Hooligan on its packaging? Do you think they had rights permissions? Was Happy Hooligan really popular enough in Italy to promote tasty frozen treats? Inquiring minds want to know!

    I just loved their sense of line and tone back then. It would be neat to see a vintage collection of retro animation — everything from tv shows and short films to old animated commercials.
