Imagine Gmail... but it's 1985. A TikTok account called Kxdlogos takes us on a nostalgic journey by reimagining logos of modern tech giants as they might have looked in the 80s'.
Logos of companies like Google, Netflix, YouTube, Facebook, and even OpenAI are reimagined through the neon-coloured, pixelated lens of the '80s.
Think chunky icons, clunky UI, and logos that would fit right in on an old CRT monitor.
Kxdlogos is all about retro-futurism, crafting a version of the past where these companies existed decades before they actually did
The logos and interfaces feel like they're pulled straight from a vintage arcade cabinet, with bright gradients, blocky fonts, and minimal graphics that make us rethink the streamlined icons we're used to today.
And it's not just logos — some of Kxdlogos' posts explore how these app interfaces might have looked in the '80s, adding a level of depth that's as geeky as it is delightful.
Scrolling through Kxdlogos' account, it’s hard not to get swept up in the retro aesthetic
There's something oddly satisfying about seeing Gmail with a two-tone icon that would make any Commodore 64 proud, or a Netflix UI that could’ve been designed by the same minds behind a VHS rental store.
If you're a fan of old-school vibes or just curious about what modern tech might have looked like in the era of cassette tapes, Kxdlogos offers an endless scroll of '80s nostalgia with a twist.
