AVID:List of vintage-themed identities

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum

The following is a list consisting of audiovisual identities that base their styles off a specific time period from the past (e.g. the 60's, 80's). These identities are released many years after the period has passed, establishing a nostalgic sentiment that reminisces viewers of a style or item that was popular a long time ago.
