Putting the finishing touch on a retro ribbons set. It's all the rage right now and wanted to see what i could come up with. Would love some feedback to make it better. This set will be published soon as a freebie on pixeden.com ;=)
Why are so many people calling this style "retro"? It is indeed quite modern and not all that retro. These elements don't look like they come from another era. Sorry, pet peeve. Retro is a very misused term.
I dig the soft red color you're using here. Nice simple icons too.
I could have used vintage too... lol. I'll say that people call this style "retro" because it takes some clue from older design trends (typography, ribbons, faded soft colors...) but i do agree that this is a modern take on it. Anyhow like fashion, design styles and names sometime confuse me too...
This is a rebound to my work in progress shot.
A complete set of retro and vintage web menu ribbons, retro social icons, vintage web buttons.
The psd file is available as a freebie @ Pixeden.com:

Just want to say that the "f" on the facebook icon needs to be nudged 1px to the left to be properly aligned in the center of the circle.
Other than that little detail, I dig the whole thing. Looks great.
